Tips & Advice
- Drop off a copy of your child's letter and a wrapped gift at the castle by December 23 so Santa can prepare the visit.
- Queue outside the castle before your time slot and wrap up warm, as Santa is indoors but the queue is outdoors.
- Leave buggies and prams in the space outside the castle, as they cannot be taken inside.
- Allow for standard parking charges on arrival if you are not a member.
- Choose your ticket date and time carefully, since tickets are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged.
