Waddesdon Manor House Rooms

Inspired by the Tale of Sleeping Beauty

A set of paintings by Russian designer Léon Bakst, originally displayed in the Tower Room, serves as inspiration for the beloved fairytale of Sleeping Beauty brought to life throughout the Waddesdon Manor House.

This year’s highlights include a captivating installation by theatre designer Tom Piper MBE in the White Drawing Room, which responds directly to Bakst’s artwork.

Waddesdon Manor Winter Lights Trail

Outside, experience the grounds as never before as the Sleeping Beauty story is celebrated with projections on the Manor façade and our spectacular landscape is transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour, lights and music.
