Decorations at Watts Gallery

Experience the magic of Watts Gallery adorned in sparkling seasonal style. Wander through the beautifully decorated grounds and gardens, glowing with lights and floral displays lovingly created by our Estates Team and Watts Head Gardener. With thanks to Hans Christmas Andersen for providing our gorgeous Christmas trees.

A whimsical, handcrafted doll sits on a fallen log, surrounded by autumn leaves. The doll is wearing a colourful knit outfit, including a hat, scarf, sweater, and striped socks and is posed as though knitting with a white knitting needle and multi-coloured yarn. The doll's face is simple with hand-drawn features. The background is a forest floor covered in fallen leaves.

Make memories with your family

Follow the elf woodland trail through the gardens to the house at Limnerslease - ending at the wishing Christmas tree where you can write your wish and hang it on the tree. Then visit the Verey Playwood which has stepping stones, swings and plenty of room to run around.
