From the middle of November until early January, the grand Georgian mansion will be lit up like a Christmas tree as part of the National Trust's special after-dark light experiences.

Follow the winter trail that winds through its woods to a canopy illuminated with shards of light and hung with snowflakes and sparkling baubles. There'll be plenty of surprises along the way and mulled wine and cider for sale. During the day, Dunham Massey will host various festive craft activities for kids and Father Christmas will make an appearance too.
