Prebook tickets online for the House and gardens. It is also worth prebooking the resturant which serves excellent food. The Christmas displays are an excellent experience - but you must book slots online well in advance - because spaces sell quickly. If you are visiting us in December/ January the Manor is beautifully decorated with a different Christmas theme each year
