Storytime with Father Christmas
Make family memories this season with a visit to Father Christmas at Beningbrough.
- Booking essential
- Admission applies
Father Christmas is facing a festive challenge and needs your help to save Christmas!
During this thirty minute session, children will have a special moment to tell Father Christmas about all of the wonderful things they’ve been up to this year... and maybe share their gift ‘wish list’. Feel free to bring along a letter if you like!
There will be a book for each child at the end of the experience and the chance to take some festive snaps to remember the moment.
Head to the hall five minutes before the start of your session and show your booking confirmation. Please note the hall is several minutes' walk from admissions and the event is on the top/2nd floor. There are two large flights of stairs, so you may prefer to use the lift, located to the left under the clock tower.
If you have an afternoon Father Christmas ticket, please be aware that Beningbrough closes at 3.30pm. We'd recommend arriving earlier to enjoy the house, gardens and grounds before your session, as there may be limited or no time to explore afterwards.
Non-members will need to pay normal admission prices on arrival at Beningbrough.
