Chatsworth House in Derbyshire has unveiled its festive plans for 2023 - including the return of its "magical" Christmas market. The historic house is to be transformed into the "Palace of Advent" for its winter programme of events from Saturday November 4.
In the mansion house itself visitors will be invited to travel under archways adorned with candy canes, handmade Christmas stockings and mistletoe. You can also wander through snowflake showers and a glittering Christmas tree brooch forest. These will reflect the Christmas scenes within the house as well as Chatsworth’s extensive collection of art and artefacts. The farmyard will also be transformed with lights and decorations, and families can join Father Christmas for story time in his grotto.
The Christmas market will boast over 100 exhibitors offering Christmas crafts, gifts and decorations, as well as festive food, drink and live music. Chatsworth’s Orangery and Stables shops will be open all season, with Christmas gifts, homewares and clothing made by some of the region’s finest sustainable producers, designers and craftspeople.
