Join us for a day of festive fun with Santa!
Father Christmas will be making appearances in the Museum galleries throughout the day.
Will he pose with Matilda, measure up against his favourite Roald Dahl character or take a break in Roald Dahl's chair? One thing's for certain, you'll be able to come and say hello and pick a free chocolate treat.
No queueing or timed tickets just spot Santa as he explores. At busy times, though, you may need to wait your turn to say hello.
Santa will be in the galleries at the following times:
Make the day even more festive!
Join in with storytelling from one of Santa's helpers in our Wondrous Woods room. They will be reciting takes from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and from Roald Dahl's poem Mother Christmas.
Enjoy drop-in Christmas crafts and complete our Christmas Bingo Trail in the galleries.
Meet Santa's elves Oompa-Loompas who'll be around the Museum keeping everything ship-shape.
Explore the Museum galleries which are open as usual for you to explore; try dressing up, drop-in crafts and enjoy interactive activities.
Make your own Christmas tree decoration out of play in our wondrous Wonka workshop (£5 per maker).
Dial up the magic by booking on to our Splendiferous Tea with Santa at 2pm. Get delicious treats, hot chocolate (mulled wine for the adults), one to one time with Santa and a gift (£25 per person).
We recommend booking Museum entry and paid-for activities in advance.
