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.
