'Tis The Season Christmas Trail at Knole

Follow Knole’s wintery trail around the parkland. Lift flaps and open doors to find 12 Christmas poems along with beautiful festive illustrations.

  • Booking advisable
  • Admission applies

This year’s festive trail delivers poems and drawings from ’Tis The Season, a spectacular lift-the-flap advent calendar book filled with well-loved Christmas poems and joyful artwork by Richard Jones. As you explore the parkland, lift the flaps on the wooden deer and open doors in bird boxes to find your favourite Christmas poem and enjoy snowy drawings of parkland animals, birds and even the odd Christmas tree! Once you’ve found all 12 poems head to Knole’s Bookshop to collect your prize (while stock lasts). You’ll also find copies of ’Tis The Season on sale to take home and enjoy the full range of wintery poems, enchanting characters and hidden surprises.

£3 per trail. Collect your trail leaflet from the Visitor Centre. ’Tis the Season, by Richard Jones, is published by Nosy Crow in collaboration with the National Trust.
