This Christmas, join Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild and his beloved dog Poupon on an enchanting trans-European tour. Each stop along the route brings a different city to life, showcasing cultural heritage, seasonal customs, and links to Waddesdon's famous collection.
Step into the Manor where each room is transformed with beautiful decorations, digital installations and evocative soundscapes which transport you around the world.
As the sun sets, the magic continues outdoors where the gardens and façade of Waddesdon Manor will glow with an all-new immersive light show. Watch as the trees and lawns become a moving tapestry of colour and story, transforming the landscape into a living winter dreamscape.
Wander through our Christmas Fair (22 Nov – 14 Dec), filled with handcrafted, artisan gifts and seasonal delights. If you're hungry after festive shopping, then our Food Village is perfect for refuelling as you take in the lights and activities. If cakes and sandwiches are more your thing, check out our Festive Afternoon Tea, served in the Manor Restaurant — a treat for the whole family.
Advanced booking is recommended.
