Join Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild and his beloved dog, Poupon, on a festive trans-European tour, exploring the unique holiday traditions that light up each country’s winter season.

Every stop on their journey will highlight a different city, blending local heritage, seasonal customs, and links to Waddesdon’s famous collection.

Outside, the Manor and Gardens will be illuminated with an innovative new immersive light show, combining a specially commissioned digital projection, lights and sound. The lawns and trees in front of the house will be transformed into a living, moving tapestry of colour while the popular Christmas Fair and Food Village move to the South side of the Manor.

We will leave Trowbridge at 9.45am, I have planned the day so that we can walk through the illuminated gardens before we leave for home at 6pm.
