A special visit from Father Christmas
Father Christmas is making room in his busy schedule to come and visit Castle Drogo.

- Free event (admission applies)
Father Christmas will be coming to Castle Drogo this festive period. He is a very busy man, so he will be visiting whenever he can between getting things ready for the big day.
