Mrs Christmas storytelling at Wallington

Mrs Christmas is back! With her sparkly shoes and books galore, pick your beanbag and snuggle in for storytime.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Mrs Christmas is back for storytelling in the House this festive season. She's taking a break from toy-making duties with the elves and Father Christmas to spread some Christmas magic with us here at Wallington, something of a tradition now every festive season.

Mrs Christmas will be reading a series of short stories, drop by the Reading Room.

Please note, staff may ask you to wait for a short time outside the room to allow for the current story to finish. At busy times you may be asked to exit the room after listening to your story to allow everyone to have their chance to sit with Mrs Christmas.
