Storytelling with Santa, relaxed sessions

This festive season, join us for a relaxed session with Santa in his hidden storybook nook for a cosy Christmas tale, an early gift and a chance to take a photo with the man himself! Normal property entry charges apply.

  • Booking essential
  • Admission applies

Santa is stopping at Kingston Lacy this festive season! Make memories, start traditions and come on a fantastical journey with his helpers to find the storybook nook, before settling in for a festive tale, an early Christmas gift and a chance to take a picture together with Santa!

These sessions will be quieter than our other Storytelling with Santa dates, with nothing too noisy before or during the story and fewer people attending each session.

Tickets £15.50 per child (0-12 years old). Each child ticket includes one accompanying adult

Five additional accompanying adult tickets are available for each storytelling, £5 per ticket. This is only needed if you have more adults than children in your group. Normal property entry charges apply.
