Mr C and I had originally planned to visit the Attingham Park Christmas displays on the 7th December and I would do a late volunteering shift after our visit. Then Mr C would pick me up and we would have a meal out to complete the day.
Unfortunately Storm Darragh had other plans and Attingham Park was closed for the day. Due to the extreme weather we decided to eat at home rather than venture out into the storm.
We booked a visit to Attingham Park for the next available Saturday which was today. We had lunch in the cafe before stepping out on the mile walk arriving at the mansion with perfect timing for our entry ticket.
I was surprised to find that the cafe, mansion and car park were relatively quite for the last Saturday before Christmas.
On our way home we managed to pick up a door wreath at a bargain price. Sometimes being totally disorganised and last minute can pay off.
A super Christmas display and I especially love the Christmas Trees. Great photos.
Attingham Park always put on a fabulous display
What?! No Celebrations chocolates in the treasure chest?
Absolutely gutted!
Shh… You don’t have to tell us who ate all of them.
Probably the dragons that are hiding in the treasure chest in the Visitor Recption area
They’re Dra-choco-nian!
Be nice to others ’tis season.
LOL
Happy Christmas!
Remember to save me some chocolate
Happy Christmas to you to
They really go to town, and some work still in progress outside to be seen
The recent storm Darragh brought down at lot of trees and some of the outside decorations. The storm meant that Attingham Park had to close on what should have been a busy Saturday. It took about a week to clear up the fallen trees and restore the outside decorations and the route of the trail.
Thanks for sharing these… I was hoping to get to Attingham over Christmas, but between the awful weather and other things, I just didn’t get there.
The indoor display was particularly lovely this year.
