A Quiet Visit with Father Christmas - Neurodiverse Friendly
Father Christmas will be returning to his grotto at Quarry Bank for a special quiet visit.
- Booking essential
Christmas is for everyone, and this year we are delighted to offer neurodiverse friendly sessions to meet Father Christmas.
Attendees will experience a special 30-minute session including festive activities, crafts, and of course the chance to meet Father Christmas and receive a gift.
Without removing the magic and joy of Christmas, these sessions will host fewer guests, no music will be played, with fewer staff/volunteers around. The relaxed atmosphere will give ticket holders the opportunity to explore as they'd like in their own time. These sessions are open to guests of any age who have additional needs.
Please purchase a Father Christmas ticket for each child/attendee that wishes to receive a gift.
Two adults/carers per family group permitted to attend with the ticket holder.
Non-National Trust members do not need to purchase Quarry Bank admission tickets in order to attend this event. If however you wish to explore the buildings and gardens on your visit, then you will need to pay for admission at Visitor Reception.
The Mill Yard Shop will be open 9.45am-5pm and Weaving Shed Restaurant wll be open 10am-4.30pm.
National Trust admission charges do not apply.
