Relaxed Festive Storytime with Mrs Claus

Mrs Claus is joining us for her interactive festive storytime experience, where families can help her get everything ready for Christmas at Temple Newsam.

Move and play as you listen to the story, and then help Mrs Claus to decorate gingerbread.

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.

Whilst you’re here…

Explore the beautifully decorated House with Christmas trees adorning the rooms and traditional garlands, which transport 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.
