Christmas at Elgar’s Birthplace and Visitor Centre
Step into a magical festive world at Elgar’s Birthplace this Christmas! Be greeted at the workshop by his elves and take part in some festive activities before meeting Father Christmas in his cottage and receiving a gift.
Meet Father Christmas at Elgar’s Birthplace and Visitor Centre
Father Christmas will be stopping off at Elgar’s Birthplace and Visitor Centre again this year.
Enjoy a magical meeting with Father Christmas in his cosy Christmas Cottage. Families will delight in a special 10-minute visit, sharing their Christmas wishes with Father Christmas and receiving a wonderful festive gift.
The festive fun continues in the Visitor Centre, transformed into a bustling Elves' Workshop. Create three festive crafts to take home and treasure. Be sure to pop into Father Christmas's Study to write your very own letter to him, and don't forget to sneak a peek at the Naughty or Nice List! For little ones who need a quiet moment, a cosy calm room is available, complete with books and puzzles for relaxing and unwinding. Children can also help save Christmas by sorting presents that have been accidentally mixed up before Christmas Eve.
Outside, the Christmas adventure continues. Mischievous elves are hiding throughout the gardens, ready to be discovered along the way. Families can climb aboard Father Christmas's sleigh for the perfect festive photo opportunity and join in a joyful chorus of Jingle Bells.
Father Christmas will be visiting Elgar’s Birthplace from Saturday 5 December to Wednesday 23 December.
