Join Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild and his beloved dog, Poupon, on a festive trans-European tour, exploring the unique holiday traditions that light up each country’s winter season. Every stop on their journey will highlight a different city, blending local heritage, seasonal customs, and links to Waddesdon’s famous collection.

Outside, the Manor and Gardens will be illuminated with an innovative new immersive light show, combining a specially commissioned digital projection, lights and sound. The lawns and trees in front of the house will be transformed into a living, moving tapestry of colour while the popular Christmas Fair and Food Village move to the South side of the Manor.

After dark there is an outdoor light trail. Wander through the grounds as the spectacular landscape is transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour, lights and music with specially chosen instillations…and warm up with a hot drink at the Coffee Kiosk.

A tour of the house, decorated for Christmas, is included in the Waddesdon price and is booked for 2.30pm The Waddesdon group price is £18.50 for National Trust members and £38.50 for non-members. Members must bring their NT cards.

Please note that the house is a 10–15-minute walk from the visitor centre where I expect the coach to drop us off. There is a shuttle bus available at a cost of £2.50 each way. (Blue badge holders and accompanying carers are free)


Hope to see you on this our last trip for 2025
