Christmas at The Bishop's Palace is always a little bit special, and this year we're bringing The 12 Days of Christmas to life!

Discover beautiful illuminations throughout the Palace and gardens, accompanied by classical music. Look out for golden rings, milkmaids and, of course, plenty of swans-a-swimming!

New this year, the magic continues inside the Palace, with festive installations and beautiful decorations featuring dried flowers from our gardens. On weekend evenings, local choirs and musicians will add to the festive atmosphere with live performances.

Warm up with mulled wine, mince pies or our signature festive hot chocolate. Our garden café will serve delicious seasonal treats each evening, while the Undercroft bar will also be open on weekend evenings, offering a cosy place to relax during your visit.
