Christmas at Painshill

Painshill’s The 12 Days of Christmas Trail invites visitors to search out each of the gifts mentioned in the classic song; from two turtle doves through to twelve drummers drumming and of course, a partridge in a pear tree!

Bright, colourful figures made from traditional wooden materials and individually hand-painted are dotted throughout Painshill’s landscape.

Grab your hat and scarf and have a fun day out with the whole family on this nostalgic festive adventure through Painshill’s stunning 160 acre historic garden this Christmas. Even the family dog is able to join in the fun at Painshill’s dog-friendly event!

Whilst searching for the figures, visitors can also enjoy the beautiful views of Painshill. There are also many garden structures, known as follies, to discover, from a stunning Gothic Temple to an incredible, sparkling Crystal Grotto. There really is something for everyone at Painshill with a surprise around each corner.

Why not round your walk off nicely with a treat or two in Mr Hamilton’s Tea Room, a perfect day out!

The 12 Days of Christmas Trail runs until Sunday 5 January 2025.

Book online in advance to save on entry.

The Crystal Grotto is beautifully lit for the Christmas period in a rainbow of colours and is looking truly spectacular.
