Visitors can tiptoe past Sleeping Beauty in the Temple Greenhouse, explore The Little Mermaid’s underwater world in the Basement and see Hansel and Gretel’s gingerbread cottage in the Tapestry Room.

The event does not require booking and is free although normal admission charges apply.

A quieter hour will also run from 10am until 11am over the Christmas period for visitors who may benefit from a less busy experience.

Last admission is at 3.30pm.
