Christmas at Attingham Park

Christmas Tree in Entrance Hall
Attingham Park is worth visiting at any time, but at Christmas, visitors can step back in time and enjoy festivities from the mansion's 200 year history with the house decorated for Christmas through the ages, as the generations of Lord Berwicks living there might have known it.







I visited recently and took some photos.  The light levels inside the house are low and flash is not allowed in order to protect the delicate fabrics, furniture and paintings, but I managed to get a few shots which gives an idea of the wonderful atmosphere and displays :)


 
I also love that the old servants' hall is decorated for Christmas - and the way in which details were given for each servant was very ingenious!

















All the photos are available to view on my Facebook author page here.

And this great video from Attingham TV shows some of the restoration work going on :)







A Merry Christmas and  Happy New Year !
