'The History of the Christmas Decoration' Outdoor Trail
Advertisement
🎄This festive season, follow our family-friendly Christmas Decorations Trail through the winter gardens and uncover the surprising histories behind the items we hang, light, bake and pull each year.
Learn how Christmas crackers began with a bang in Victorian London, why Prince Albert helped popularise the Christmas tree, where gingerbread houses first appeared, and how holly, mistletoe and wreaths became symbols of hope and celebration.
🎁Packed with fun activities, puzzles and festive moments, this enchanting trail is perfect for all ages and a delightful way to step into the stories of Christmas.
The trail takes place along the main garden paths or near the main buildings, so even if it is a bit wet, you should be able to follow the route comfortably. Please note that the route is mainly step-free, but there is a path on an incline to get to the Kitchen Garden section, and one step down to the Undercroft activity. Dogs on leads are welcome on the trail.
This self-led trail is free to take part in, normal admission costs apply, no booking required.
