The National Trust is inviting visitors to dive into a festive wonderland this Christmas season.
From Christmas fairs to wreath-making workshops, and even a Santa Run, the Trust's properties are set to offer a truly magical experience for all.
Historic houses and gardens will be decorated, with the delightful scents of sweet spices and the sparkle of fairy lights setting the scene for family memories.
Some places will be fully festive from mid-November, while others will join in the celebrations a little later.
Richard Grudzinski, experiences curator at the National Trust, said: "The great thing about a National Trust Christmas is that everything you want in a Christmas is done for you, from trees, decorations, festive food and cosy spaces to reconnect with family and friends."
At Hughenden, from November 25 to January 3, visitors can enjoy a Nordic Christmas, with the Victorian manor house transformed into a Nordic village complete with Odin's Forest, a grand yule feast, and a skiing-themed hillside room.
There's also an activity trail in the garden based on the Nordic Fairytale, the Little Fir Tree, and festive food to enjoy.
