Santa at the Museum

Share your Christmas wishes with Santa, receive a special gift, and soak up the magic of our beautifully decorated Victorian streets.

Santa will be welcoming families in the snowy square beside his grotto, which is packed with presents ready for Christmas. There's plenty of space for everyone to gather and enjoy the experience together, so don't forget to bring your camera to capture those festive memories.

As well as meeting Santa and letting him know if you've been good this year, children can write a letter or Christmas list and post it directly to the North Pole in our special festive post box.

Your visit also includes time to explore our seasonally decorated Victorian streets, filled with festive fun and family-friendly activities. Follow Christmas trails, spot cheeky sprouts hiding around the streets, strike a pose with silly hats, and discover cosy corners perfect for curling up with a seasonal story.

Every child will also receive a take-home craft bag, packed with activities to continue the festive fun at home.
