Christmas in the House

Enjoy beautifully decorated interiors inspired by the tale of Sleeping Beauty.

  • Booking advisable

A set of paintings by Russian designer Léon Bakst, originally displayed in the Tower Room, serves as inspiration for the beloved fairytale of Sleeping Beauty brought to life throughout the House.

This year’s highlights include a captivating installation by theatre designer Tom Piper MBE in the White Drawing Room, which responds directly to Bakst’s artwork. Inspired by the tale of Sleeping Beauty, Waddesdon is set to be transformed for a magical festive experience. Enjoy beautifully decorated interiors, new light projections on the Manor façade, a glittering light trail in the gardens and the return of the ever-popular Christmas market.
