Book todayJoin us for a laid-back Santa experience at the Museum.
Father Christmas will be making appearances in the Museum galleries throughout the day. Will he pose with Matilda, measure up against his favourite Roald Dahl character or take a break in Roald Dahl’s chair? One thing’s for certain, you’ll be able to come and say hello and pick a free chocolate treat.
Join in with storytelling from one of Santa’s helpers in our Wondrous Woods room, enjoy drop-in Christmas crafts and complete our Christmas Trail in the galleries. You’ll also be able to meet his elves Oompa-Loompas who’ll be around the Museum keeping everything ship-shape.
The Museum galleries are open as usual for you to explore; try dressing up, drop-in crafts and enjoy interactive activities.
This laid-back Santa day is perfect for kids who want a less formal Santa experience. Come and say hello or wave from afar! No set times to book or queues, but you may have to wait your turn at busy times.
For all ages.
Free with Museum entry. We recommend booking Museum entry in advance.
Food and drink
We’ll be serving hot and cold drinks, snacks and cakes from the Filling Station. Pick up delicious food from local suppliers, as well as some special Christmas treats.
