What is it?

A Victorian Christmas is brought to life this yuletide at Audley End.  Wander around the beautifully decorated rooms of the house and encounter a range of costumed characters along the way as they prepare the house for the upcoming festivities.  Children will get to meet Father Christmas in the Cart Yard, have their photos taken with his reindeer and take part in a festive fun trail around the grounds.  There will also be music, carol singing and a variety of seasonal gifts available to purchase from one of the two shops along with the festive fayre.
