This Christmas, step into a world of icy enchantment as Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen comes to life at Chirk Castle.

Journey alongside brave Gerda as she sets out to rescue her friend Kai from the Snow Queen’s icy grip. Wander through the castle’s historic State Rooms, where extraordinary handcrafted scenes, striking artwork and immersive soundscapes bring each chapter of this much-loved tale to life.

Discover imaginative displays created by artists and theatrical set-makers, before arriving at the Snow Queen’s icy palace. Here, a spectacular setting inspired by the Snow Queen’s throne room brings Gerda and Kai’s adventure towards its heartwarming finale.

Capture a Christmas memory in a Snow Queen-inspired setting, where you can strike a suitably regal pose for a festive photo. Look out for more seasonal photo opportunities around the castle and courtyard too.

Beyond the fairy tale, enjoy traditional Christmas decorations, greenery and beautifully dressed trees in the East Wing.

An enchanting festive experience for children and adults alike.
