The festive decorations of a north Norfolk stately home are taking centre stage in a Channel 4 show.

Holkham Hall's Christmas celebrations are to be showcased in the Christmas At... series, which follows grand estates as they get ready for December.

The festive season at Holkham is a popular event in the county and this year's programme is jam-packed including a candlelight tour around the hall's rooms, a food and drink market, festive workshops and audiences with Father Christmas.

Christmas at Holkham Hall will be aired Thursday, December 22, at 8pm on Channel 4 and will follow Lady Leicester and her team as they decorate Holkham Hall ready for visitors.

Rather than adopting a specific theme throughout, the countess decided that each room would have its own particular identity, with the great drawing room being turned into a tribute to the late Queen.

Built in 1761, Holkham Hall is currently owned by the eighth earl of Leicester Thomas Edward Coke after he succeeded his father Edward Coke following his death in 2015.
