Beginning on Saturday, November 27, step into Christmas with woodland walks where you can spot 12 unique artworks located across the estate, all themed around the Twelve Days of Christmas.

You could cuddle up with loved ones as you walk under the turtle dove arch, admire seven mirrored swans a-swimming on the water or bang the 12 drummer’s drums with your little ones.
