Santa's Storytime
To complete the Christmas magic, Santa will be here on both days with his Santa’s Storytime sessions.
These include a festive story and sing-a-long, plus a wrapped gift and are held in the Museum's specially staged, Hawksworth Hall.
Sessions cost £7.50 per child, in addition to the admission price. As a guide, we recommend that sessions are suitable for children between 3 and 10 years old. Up to two accompanying adults will be admitted free of charge, and do not need to purchase a Story Time ticket. Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes.
Places are limited to ensure children receive a quality experience. We recommend booking online to guarantee a space.
