LOVE is in the air at Tatton Park after Keith Adshead popped the question to the backdrop of an 18-foot Christmas tree.

The Fairytale Christmas Mansion at Tatton Park this year immersed visitors in a beautiful world of fairytale-themed rooms, elaborate Christmas decorations and festive floral displays.

Thousands of visitors marvelled at the magical celebration of the 10 much-loved fairytales, and for visitors Julie Tulsie and Keith Adshead it was an occasion they will remember forever.

The 18-foot tree in the cupola of the Mansion, adorned with silver and gold ornaments and twinkling lights, was the perfect setting for a special Christmas proposal.

Julie and Keith visited the Fairytale Christmas Mansion on December 20 on the ninth anniversary of their first date.

Keith said: “I had been looking for somewhere Christmassy, beautiful and memorable to propose to Julie.

“We have been to events at Tatton Park before and we love the area and knew the Mansion would be something special at Christmas.

“I knew Julie would particularly like it. We went around all the rooms, and thought the room with the huge, amazing Christmas tree was particularly impressive and very beautiful.

“She was not aware of my plan, and at an appropriate time I suggested we take a couple of pictures in front of the tree.

“At that point I got down on one knee and proposed. Thankfully she said yes.”
