This festive season, the jungle comes alive once more at Bateman's with a bigger, bolder, and even more enchanting Jungle Book Christmas.
The world-renowned author of The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling, lived at Bateman's for over 30 years, and the house remains to this day a warm and welcoming family home. With a reputation for quality and craftsmanship, Bateman's Christmas displays continue to delight visitors year after year.
