Chatsworth House & Gardens |   Bakewell   |   Hardwick Hall   |   Chatsworth Christmas Market

 

DAY ONE – Arrival

We depart from your home and join the coach to journey to Bakewell en route to our hotel. Enjoy a little while here looking around the town and perhaps enjoy a break for lunch and visit the many interesting places around the town.

 

DAY TWO – Chatsworth House & Gardens and Christmas Market

This morning we make the short journey to Bakewell where we have time to look around the town and enjoy a coffee break, or perhaps with a slice of Bakewell Tart from the Original Pudding Shop.

 

We leave around midday for Chatsworth House, delightfully decorated for Christmas. Here we will have chance to obtain lunch before exploring the house.

 

Step inside Christmas at Chatsworth: The Enchanted Garden and be transported by the quiet beauty and hidden magic of the natural world in midwinter. Created in collaboration with acclaimed British artists and animators, this immersive, multi-sensory experience invites you into a realm where the mystical spirit of the outdoors reigns.

 

Explore 20 extraordinary spaces in the house transformed with light, sound, and shadow play. Discover towering Christmas trees, a grand cluster of mistletoe, shimmering copper toadstools, and twirling oak leaf archways, each inspired by the wonders of nature. Through animated projections, enchanted fairies are awakened, while woodland creatures crouch in secret corners, and tiny doorways hint at pathways to hidden lands.

 

Outside, follow a light and sound trail past Chatsworth's best-loved garden landmarks that concludes with a spectacular projection on the south facade of the house.

 

You may wish to end the day with a well-deserved cuppa in the café or visit the shop which will be well stocked with seasonal gifts. before we return to the hotel.

 

DAY THREE – Hardwick Hall

Today we explore Hardwick Hall, it is one of the finest Elizabethan buildings in the country. A big claim but they are confident you’ll agree. Full of architectural and artistic delights from Elizabethan embroidery to Forties furnishing, a walk through the Hall is always an enjoyable experience.

A remarkable house for a remarkable woman. Bess of Hardwick, a formidable and talented woman.  Bess enlisted the help of Robert Smythson to design Hardwick Hall.  Large, glazed windows adorn the Hall and inside the three floors take you on something of a magical mystery tour, with elaborate rooms designed to wow.
