There will be plenty for your children to see and do even if you do not wish to visit Mrs Claus. Please register all members of your party; adults and children (including infants).
Come and join us for an afternoon of fun including Storytime with Mrs Claus, crafts to enjoy, face painters, photo opportunities, a magician, balloon artists and lots more.
Accessibility
The event will be inclusive and accessible to all. We will be offering shorter and more relaxed visits with Mrs Claus and will also have a Relaxed Room available with quieter activities and crafts (with visits from some special guests too). These sessions may be particularly suited to families where a parent carer or child is disabled or neurodivergent. Register for the relaxed Storytime with Mrs Claus or to use the Relaxed Room using the Microsoft Form link here instead of this Eventbrite page.

There will also be the opportunity to enjoy a complimentary hot drink for all guests with a voucher provided when checking in too. Other facilities on campus will also be open for purchases of drinks and food until 19:00.
