Our ‘Christmas at Chatsworth’ trips are always popular, so here’s an opportunity to visit the house at a time when the gardens will be looking spectacular and when more of the majestic rooms are open to view, from the magnificent Painted Hall to the beautiful Sculpture Gallery, via regal State Rooms and the restored Sketch Galleries. Outside, the 105 acre garden is famous for its rich history, waterworks and sculptures and its Victorian rock garden. Uncover the recent Arcadia project which saw the largest garden transformation here for 200 years - involving over 300,000 plants!

Today is Chatsworth's Garden & Plant Fair (entry included) - learn from the experts, soak up the sounds of live music, tuck into great food and browse specialist nurseries from across the country.

Also included in your ticket is Chatsworth's latest inspiring exhibition The Gorgeous Nothings: Flowers at Chatsworth. Find unique artworks and artefacts displayed around the house, garden and glasshouses that celebrate flowers in all their forms.

The coach is due to arrive at 12:00 and depart at 17:00. House entry is timed for 12:45. There will be a comfort stop at Notcutts Garden Centre in Nottingham on the outward journey.
