Father Christmas and a child at Temple Newsam

Relaxed Father Christmas at Temple Newsam

Date/Time: 20 December 2024 Allotted time slots between 11am - 3pm

Venue: Temple Newsam

Price: Up to £9.50

Our Relaxed Father Christmas experience is perfect for families who might benefit from a quieter and less busy experience.

Father Christmas invites you to tell him your Christmas wishes and will give you an early Christmas present to take home.

As part of our relaxed day there will be fewer families in the House, and smaller groups visiting Father Christmas and Mrs Claus.

All audio will be turned down and you can borrow ear defenders (limited availability). We also have quiet rooms available, ask a member of our team on the day. For general access information, please visit our access page.

Whilst you’re here…

Explore the beautifully decorated House with Christmas trees adorning the rooms and traditional garlands, transporting you back to the festivities Temple Newsam experienced over the past 500 years.

Families are invited to join in our festive crafts and activities, dress up like our former residents, and discover how the servants got the House ready for Christmas.

£12 per child, including general admission.

All accompanying visitors need a General Admission ticket for Temple Newsam.


LeedsCard and Max Card concessions available on purchase.
