Meet Father Christmas
This December, make magical memories with a very special visit to Father Christmas at Anglesey Abbey.
- Booking essential
- Admission applies
Step into a Christmas wish at Anglesey Abbey, where Father Christmas is making a special festive visit this winter.
Join Christmas characters on a magical mini adventure before entering the beautifully decorated Lower Gallery of the house. Here, Father Christmas will share a heart-warming Christmas story, bringing the season to life in one of Anglesey Abbey’s most beautiful rooms. And for children, there’s a special and bespoke gift from Keel Toys to take home.
At the end, there’ll also be an opportunity to take a photo with Father Christmas and capture the memory.
With limited spaces available, we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
This group storytelling experience is recommended for children aged 3+. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Due to the size of the Lower Gallery, only one adult per child ticket can attend.
This is a group experience, so families will share the storytelling session with other visitors.
If you have any access requirements, please contact us before your visit. We’d be very happy to help make sure your family has the best possible experience.
Please note: normal admission to Anglesey Abbey applies and is not included in this ticket. The house is a 10–15 minute walk from the visitor centre, so please allow plenty of time to reach the Lower Gallery. Late entry cannot be guaranteed due to the nature of the event.
