Father Christmas and Scrooge Visit Tredegar House
Two very different characters will be visiting Tredegar House this Christmas...
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Father Christmas will be roaming the grounds, spreading Christmas cheer and joy ahead of the big day. Keep your eyes peeled - you never know when you might spot him waving, laughing and sharing a touch of Christmas magic.
Scrooge, on the other hand, will be inside the house - trying his best to avoid all that festive spirit. Will you catch him grumbling in the corners or sneaking away from the Christmas cheer?
Normal admission charges apply and appearances are only on select dates.
Santa and Scrooge will be visiting on 12 - 13 December, 11am - 4pm and 19 - 23 December, 12pm - 7pm.
Be sure to check the schedule carefully before visiting to avoid disappointment.
Come along for a festive experience full of cheer, chuckles and a dash of magical Christmas mischief.

Due to the historic architecture of the house, the visitor route through the mansion includes stairs. The ground floor of the house is accessible and we have a mobi-lift to aid entry. The garden paths are accessible for wheelchair and mobility scooter users. Use of the site Tramper is available and can be reserved through email or on the day on a first come first served basis.

Scan your membership card or pay for standard entry at Visitor Reception before entering the gardens and house.
- Suitability for children
Santa and Scrooge visits are suitable for all ages.
- What to bring and wear
Dress appropriately for the Welsh weather. Please note that no food or drink can be consumed in the house, but the Brewhouse Café sells Christmas treats and hot chocolate.
- Other
This is not a meet and greet event. Santa and Scrooge will be part of the atmosphere of Tredegar House on these select dates. They will roam the house and gardens freely, so this is a chance to encounter them naturally as you explore 500 years of Christmas.
