Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets online before arriving, and do so at least seven days ahead because bookings close one week before the event.
  • Choose a sitting at 11am, 1pm, 3pm or 5pm; Santa sees only a limited number of children in each session.
  • Give children’s names and ages when booking so Santa’s team can prepare their named, age-appropriate gifts.
  • Make sure every attendee has a ticket and each child is accompanied by a paying adult; entry is not permitted without tickets.
  • Tell the venue about specific requirements before booking, as accessibility is limited in the Grade II* listed building and arrangements may be needed.
