Chatsworth’s 2018 Christmas theme, Once Upon a Time, brought familiar stories to life throughout the house.
The display was advertised for 10 November 2018 to 6 January 2019; a local group reported visiting in November and December. The original programme described Arthur the dragon at the North Entrance and scenes from family stories inside.
The programme described Snow White in the Sculpture Gallery and Cinderella in the Chapel, alongside scenes from James and the Giant Peach and Charlotte’s Web.
The advertised programme included roaming storytellers and a family trail to spot a baby dragon.
The original guide described decorated Christmas trees, costumes to try on and a Snowman display in the Vestibule.
Chatsworth said its staff helped to make the costumes, props and sets for the display.
Contemporary descriptions agreed that the route covered the ground and lower floors but differed about access to the upper floor. The 2018 guide advertised timed tickets and free parking for visitors booking online.
Christmas trees, hampers and festive shopping were also advertised in the 2018 programme.
The programme advertised family Christmas nativities in the farmyard on selected dates from 8 to 23 December 2018.
Twilight evenings were advertised from 22 November to 21 December 2018, with a mince pie and live music.
The advertised 2018 Christmas admission included the house, garden and farmyard: £25 per adult, £15 per child and £69 for a family of two adults and three children.
