This festive season, the jungle comes alive once more at Bateman's. Say hello to Baloo the sleepy brown bear and immerse yourself into the scenes from The Jungle Book.
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.
For younger visitors, take the Christmas spotter sheet and see who you can find in the garden.
Our Christmas offer runs from 14 November - 3 January (closed 24 and 25 December)
House open 11am - 3.30pm, garden open 10am - 4pm
The last entry to the house is 3pm
