The festive spirit is alive and well at Castle Howard’s – the spectacular 28-ft Christmas tree has been installed in the magnificent and historic Great Hall.

The Nordmann Fir is from York and took a team of 30 to set in place.

The tree will be a grand centrepiece of Castle Howard’s Wizard of Oz-themed Christmas experience and will be dressed with more than 3,000 baubles.
