STAFF at Croome Court have been hard at work to give the historic property has a truly Christmassy feel as the festive season begins.

This huge Christmas tree has been put up at the National Trust property, near Upton and visitors are invited to hang their special Christmas wishes or memories from its branches.

Children can visit Father Christmas in his grotto and everyone can enjoy a host of winter walks and a special festive trail around the extensive gardens.

Christmas at Croome is taking place every Saturday and Sunday until the weekend of December 22-23. Carol services are being held at 3pm on Saturday, December 8, and Sunday, December 16.
