Henry and the Lion's Christmas Feast is an original story written by Joseph Coelho OBE in collaboration with Chatsworth House Trust with illustrations by Vivien Mildenberger.
Young Henry Cavendish, budding experimental scientist and grandson of the 2nd Duke of Devonshire, is searching for the legendary Chatsworth lion, while the lion is on the hunt for a delicious Christmas feast!
In this interview, Joseph covers his love of science and how Henry Cavendish, who discovered hydrogen and caluculated the mass of the earth, inspired his new seasonal story. He also talks about his love of Christmas cake, Bundt tins, and Christmas ghost stories.
The new story has inspired the theme for the 2024 Christmas at Chatsworth celebrations. Join Henry, Lion, and a mischievous menace of mice, and travel through over 20 rooms in the house, each filled with festive decorations, twinkling lights, and surprises designed to ignite your imagination and encourage you to see things from a new perspective.
There is also a Christmas light trail in the garden which culminates with an animated sound and light show projected onto the house.
