Essential Info

Children under 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult
Please note: as Stowe House is a working historic building, the rooms are dressed for Christmas in a minimal and sympathetic way. Our decorations are designed to complement the House rather than transform it, and will differ from the large-scale displays you may see at other attractions.
