To rest for the big day, Father Christmas likes to come and holiday at Beningbrough. He brings some of his best elves....although they're still very naughty. They enjoy playing in the garden, dressing up in the hall and riding on the bikes - just like you.
What to expect
You can pre-book to meet with Father Christmas in the library in the hall. As a small group he will tell you a unique tale for his Beningbrough guests - new for 2018. Every child can go to see him, have a photograph taken and if you want to, give him your list. Then there's a small gift to take away and either put under your tree or open early.
Join us on weekends from 1 - 23 December 2018, with sessions at various times from 11.30am - 3.30pm. Please note we are sold out on 8, 9, 15, 16, 22 and 23 December, there is still availability on 1 and 2 December...but we recommend phoning to book your place quite quickly as this could fully sell out in the coming weeks.
There is also artrageous running on the weekends 12noon - 3pm, plan your visit and make time to get creative together in the family art workshop, free for everyone. Artrageous can be found in the Hayloft, accessed by stairs only.
We ho-ho-hope to see you soon.
