Tips & Advice

  • Bring any old wrapping paper you'd like to recycle, because the decorations are made from recycled paper, card and wire.
  • Be at the top garden gate 10 minutes before the start, because latecomers may not be let in and there are no refunds.
  • Leave extra travel time, because at Christmas you may park in the parkland and ride the tractor-and-trailer shuttle to the main car park.
  • Wear warm clothes and bring a torch, since you may be walking between the parkland parking and the garden.
  • Stay on after the workshop, because your ticket includes the house and garden that day with no time slot, and the Christmas market is free to enter.

Special Events & Promotions

  • The workshop ticket includes complimentary Chatsworth House and Garden entry on the workshop day, plus parking for one vehicle.
