After breakfast, we set off towards the Peak District for a scenic return journey aboard the Peak Rail. While you admire the rolling landscapes, enjoy a glass of wine with mince pies.
After our return rail journey, we continue to Chatsworth House. A historically rich residence, Chatsworth has been the ancestral home to the Dukes of Devonshire for centuries. Its origins trace back to 1549 when Elizabeth and William Cavendish acquired the land for a sum of £600. This was Elizabeth's home, the Countess of Shrewsbury, better known as Bess of Hardwick. Over her eventful life, she married four times, and in the process, rose to a position of great power and wealth. With her marriage to William Cavendish, Treasurer of the King’s Chamber, they established Chatsworth as their home and had eight children. A later marriage to George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, saw Bess become Countess of Shrewsbury. Over the following generations, the house was transformed into what we see today.
Once inside the house, be amazed by the wonderful festive displays with beautifully decorated rooms, each one a sight to behold – you can truly feel the magic of Christmas at Chatsworth!
We return to our hotel for dinner this evening.
This morning we board our coach and head to the city of Nottingham, known for its role in the Robin Hood legend. From Old Market Square, Nottingham’s shopping streets spread out in every direction. Spacious avenues provide quick direct routes across the city’s compact centre, allowing you to reach even the most distant shops in no time at all. Perhaps visit one of the cities many eateries for lunch before heading to the Theatre Royal to enjoy an afternoon performance of Cinderella.
Craig Revel Horwood will lead the Theatre Royal Nottingham panto cast as the Wicked Stepmother in a production packed with laugh-out-loud comedy, stunning scenery, beautiful costumes and plenty of boos and hisses! This will be an afternoon of entertainment not to be missed.
Seating for the Pantomime will be in the front central block of the Dress Circle. After the show, we return by coach to the hotel for dinner this evening.
After breakfast, check out of the hotel and make your way home at leisure.
