Chatsworth Christmas Market & Experience Tour

Chatsworth House, Christmas Market and Light Trail

Tour Information

We hope you can join us for the unmissable Chatsworth Christmas Experience, Derbyshire.

Each year the house is decorated for Christmas with a different theme and this year will be Palace of Advent. Although Chatsworth is keeping the details of the theme under wraps until later in the year we know from past experience the decorations will be spectacular.

The famous Chatsworth Christmas Market is returning for a short period, 4th – 26th November. On arrival you can either head straight into the market or seek out one of the lovely places to east before getting down to some serious gift shopping.

Entry into the house is by timed ticket only and we have booked for 15.00, which gives you time to visit the market and have lunch at a leisurely pace.

At the time of our visit the grounds will also be decorated for Christmas but again the details have not been released. We will depart in the early evening to allow time to exit the house and take a stroll around the grounds to enjoy the light trail.

Itinerary

Day Trip Details

No where does Christmas quite like Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. Although the plans for this year are at an early stage we do know the theme for the house will be Palace of Advent. We also know the Christmas market will be offering more than 100 themed stalls selling gifts, food and drink.

After a drive through some magnificent scenery we will arrive at Chatsworth for around 12.00 noon. If you are ready for some refreshments you will be spoilt for choice! You can book ahead for a seasonal meal at The Cavendish Restaurant or if you want something less formal there is The Carriage House, a self-service café.

At The Estate Farm Shop you will find seasonal food using plenty of local produce. Or you can of course bring a picnic.

If you want to head straight to the Christmas Market area 100 themed stalls will be selling gifts as well as serving food and drink. Don’t forget to visit The Stable Block and Orangery Shop for Chatsworth inspired gifts.

When you have finished browsing the stalls and eaten your fill of festive treats it will be time for our house tour which is booked for 15.00. Allow at least an hour for the free flow tour.

It will be dark by the time you exit the house which makes for perfect timing as we join the light trail through the grounds before re-joining the coach for our journey home.

On arrival we will be dropped off in front of the house, next to the markets. You can find information on arrangements for accessibility by clicking here.
