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.
