Festive Tales 2024 starts on Saturday 30th November and runs every weekend through December up to Christmas Eve, before Father Christmas has to leave Woodhorn to deliver presents around the world.

Festive Tales is a 30 minute group experience. Come and enjoy a festive story-time session before having your photograph taken with Father Christmas himself and receive a lovely gift.

You can also have a go at the drop-in, family friendly festive art activities in the Cage Shop.

The ticket price is £9.50 per child. There is no charge for adults, but all adults must have a valid Annual Pass to attend the event at Woodhorn Museum. You can buy this in advance online or on the gate (but make sure you arrive with plenty of time to do this on the day).

Father Christmas Experience (Pre-book Only)

Saturday 16 November – Monday 23 December 2024 | 10.30am – 3.30pm |

The magic of Christmas is coming to Bamburgh Castle this year. Father Christmas will be with us from the 16th November until the 23rd December in his very special festive grotto.
Each child will sit with Father Christmas for a personalised magical experience and will receive a special gift which is exclusive to Bamburgh Castle.
*Entry to the Grotto is only valid with a ticket to see Father Christmas. You will also need to purchase admission tickets for each adult and each child visiting the Castle.

*If you have more than one child, or if you are visiting with friends please ensure you book both/all children into the same time slot (maximum of 4 children per time slot) Father Christmas needs enough time to make sure he can speak to every child and he doesn’t wear a watch! If you have more than 4 children in your party please ensure you book an additional time slot.

Tie your visit to meet Father Christmas in with exploring our magical 2024 Christmas installation ‘A Christmas Through Time’!
