Christmas at Waddesdon Manor

No tours available

Join us for a Magical Christmas at Waddesdon Manor!

Join Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild - the Victorian owner of Waddesdon, MP and member of the storied banking family and his beloved dog, Poupon - on a trans-European festive tour through the unique holiday traditions that light up each country's winter season. Every stop on their journey highlights a different city, blending local heritage, seasonal customs and links to Waddesdon's famous collections. 

You will be welcomed into a house which has been brought to life with beautiful, playful decorations and immersive light art. Digital installations and soundscapes inspired by Ferdinand and Poupon's journeys and collections combine to transport you around the world.

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