Christmas at Stourhead is one to see this festive season, with a magical after-dark trail once again lighting up the magnificent National Trust gardens. There's also a spectacular Christmas illuminated trail taking place at Westonbirt, with Westonbirt Enchanted Christmas!

Christmas often isn’t complete without a festive trip to the theatre! Look out for Salisbury Playhouse annual performances, and be sure to keep an eye out on our What's On pages for a selection of family-friendly festive theatre taking place in Wiltshire.
