About
Enjoy an interactive light and sound trail around the Chatsworth Garden featuring some of its best-loved landmarks, including the historic Cascade, Rock Garden and Maze.
The light trail will culminate in a spectacular animated light show that transforms the House into a giant advent calendar with 24 Christmas scenes emerging from 24 windows on the south façade of the House. Each scene has been inspired by the decorations in the House and our extensive collections of art and artefacts.
The Garden is best viewed at dusk and the walk is approximately 1.8km so should take you abut 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.
The last opportunity to view the projection on the House will be 20 minutes before the garden closes.
Tickets must be booked in advance. Please do not arrive at Chatsworth without a pre-booked ticket.
