RELAX: People who love Christmas but hate festive chaos are being invited to spend time at Croome Park.

The National Trust-owned landscape park near Severn Stoke, Upton-upon-Severn, is open four days each week until Sunday, December 20. Visitors can enjoy a winter’s day, walk around the picturesque grounds, look inside Croome Court and enjoy refreshments in the 1940s canteen.

Croome’s operations manager Christian Walker said: “Why not take a break from your Christmas shopping and enjoy a great day out here at Croome Park? Our canteen has a wonderful new menu to tempt the tastebuds following a winter walk and Croome Court is one of only a few historic houses open four days a week during December.”

Croome Park will open every day from Saturday, December 26, to Sunday, January 3. For more information and admission prices, call 01905 371006.
