A Christmas Masquerade at Polesden Lacey 

23 Nov – 5 Jan. Celebrate Christmas in style at Polesden Lacey. The sumptuous Edwardian house is elaborately dressed for a Christmas masquerade ball, inspired by Mrs Greville's attendance at the Devonshire House Ball. See the 20ft Christmas tree and immersive scenes throughout the house. Outside, ride on a vintage hand-carved carousel and take part in a festive trail for families, filled with magic and wonder.

The image features Shaun the Sheep, a popular character from the animated series, wearing a Santa hat. The background is light blue with snowflakes, giving it a festive feel. The text on the image reads, “Shaun the Sheep FIND THE FLOCK at Winkworth Arboretum.”
