Santa at the Museum
Tell Santa what you would like for Christmas, receive a gift and experience our seasonally decorated Victorian streets.
Santa will be meeting families in the snowy square, next to his grotto stuffed full of presents! There is plenty of room for the whole family to join in safely. Don’t forget to bring your camera!
As well as your chance to tell Santa if you have been good you can write him a list and pop it in our post box!
The Victorian streets will be seasonally decorated. There will be trails to try, sprouts to spot, silly hats to selfie and cosy corners to curl up for a story all included with your entry. There is also a craft bag for each child to take home.
