Creating Christmas: Behind the Scenes of A Christmas Feast

Join Susie Stokoe, Creative Director of Christmas at Chatsworth, as she shares her approach to the creative direction and development of this year’s spectacular Christmas exhibition and illuminated walk.

She will delve into the process of collaborating with the Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho to develop this year’s narrative, Henry and The Chatsworth Lion’s Christmas Feast - the joyful story of friendship and festive feasting that plays out in the house.

Susie will also provide insights into the operational challenges and curatorial processes of such a large scale event, from the installation of pieces from the collection to thousands of Christmas baubles and hiding a lion in Chatsworth House!

This talk 45 min talk includes a hot drink and time to ask questions. Your ticket includes entry to A Christmas Feast at Chatsworth House, and time to explore the garden light display.
