We’re running a number of relaxed Father Christmas experiences with reduced capacity and lower noise levels for families with sensory needs.
Join Father Christmas in the grand Billiard Room for a festive tale before receiving a gift from the big man himself. The interactive group story session will be relaxed and limited to 15 people. It will last about 30 minutes, including an opportunity for each paying child to receive a gift from Father Christmas. Father Christmas and his elves understand that some visitors may wish to wander around and explore in this session.

- Explore the Victorian Street after dark
- Admire the traditional decorations including twinkly festoon lights and wreaths
- Hot and cold drinks available to purchase
- Visit our beautiful Christmas shop
