Chatsworth House at Christmas
From early November, Chatsworth is decorated for Christmas with a different theme chosen each year. Our Christmas market returns in 2026 with gifts, decorations, and seasonal food and drink.
There are so many opportunities to create magical Christmas memories and traditions at Chatsworth this year - see the house transformed for The Enchanted Garden, explore the light and sound trail in the garden, pick the perfect Christmas tree, and blow away the cobwebs with a bracing winter walk through our picturesque parkland.
Christmas at Chatsworth really is the most wonderful time of the year.
Chatsworth comprises a Grade I listed house and stables, a 105-acre garden, a 1,822-acre park, a farmyard and adventure playground, and one of Europe’s most significant private art collections.
It has been home to seventeen generations of the Devonshire family for nearly five centuries. Each has contributed to its careful evolution and preservation, creating the house, garden, estate, and collections we enjoy today.
The history of Chatsworth begins with Elizabeth Talbot, Countess of Shrewsbury, better known as Bess of Hardwick (circa 1521/22-1608). A native of Derbyshire and from a modest background, she grew to become the second most powerful woman in Elizabethan England after the Queen. Bess married four times, and it was with her second husband, Sir William Cavendish, that the Cavendish line, which continues today, was established
