A free family trail runs through The Vyne's gardens and the ground floor of the house.

In the house, sparkling trees laden with baubles will illuminate magical displays inspired by fairy tales. For very young families, there is a hook-a-duck activity in the gardens and spotter activities and a photo opportunity both indoors and out.

As you wander the house, explore the realm of The Snow Queen in the Stone Gallery. Families can keep their eyes peeled for Little Red Riding Hood's wolf lurking in the Further Drawing Room. A nod to Beauty and the Beast, you'll find elegant tea cups, teapots and clocks in the Large Drawing Room.

Find Rapunzel's golden braid in the Dining Parlour. With a nod to Goldilocks and the Three Bears, in the Old Kitchen, all ages can look to see if they can work out which plate belongs to whom. Finally, young adventurers can spot The Ugly Duckling transformed into a proud swan in the second-hand bookshop.
