Children

Join Father Christmas at Kenilworth Castle this December for a magical way to start the festive season.

Father Christmas is taking time out of his busy festive schedule to tell some of his favourite seasonal stories around the Christmas tree.

After the group storytelling session, you and your children will meet the man himself, with the chance to take photographs and make memories to treasure. Father Christmas will also give every child a traditional present to unwrap.

Children of all ages are welcome. Tickets for Father Christmas cost £9.50 per child in advance, for members and non-members, and can be added at the checkout. Non-members will also need to purchase a ticket for the castle itself.

Book Tickets

Sessions take place at 10.20am, 11am, 11.40am, 12.20pm, 1.20pm, 2pm, 2.40pm and 3.20pm.

To make sure there’s room for everyone, we ask that only one adult accompany each child. Father Christmas needs to start on time, so please arrive at least 15 minutes before your slot.

On weekends between 30 Nov - Sun 22 Dec, Festive Fun will also be taking place at Kenilworth Castle. Click here to find out more.
