The 12 Days of Christmas
7 November to 3 January
This Christmas, step inside The 12 Days of Christmas as one of the season’s best-loved songs is reimagined by British and international artists, celebrating the creativity that has long been part of Chatsworth’s story.
From a partridge perched high in a seven-metre pear tree to delicate paper calling birds and leaping lords with a distinctly Chatsworth twist, encounter playful and immersive interpretations of the song as you explore the house and garden light trail.
