Haddon Hall opened its doors for the first time at Christmas this year.Although the gardens are quite small the Tudor style house decorated festively is still a rare treat and worth the entrance money of £8.50.Its also handily close to Bakewell which is always worth a visit.
The Tudor kitchens are some of the finest examples still left in the country. They were filled with spices and other food for a Christmas banquet.
In the dining room was much of the food as it would have been prepared for such a banquet including peacock pie and this pig's head!
The long gallery which was decorated in a more modern theme of the 1930's.
