Visit Father Christmas

Add a little magic to the season and plan a festive day out to see Father Christmas in his grotto. You can even settle down for a storytelling session or leave a gift at a reverse grotto at some of the places in our care this Christmas.

Celebrate the season with a festive day out

Stop by a Father Christmas grotto near you to share your festive wishes in the historic surroundings of the places we care for. Fancy celebrating the season with a difference? Join in a sensory-friendly Father Christmas experience at Arlington Court in Devon, or meet some real reindeer in the gardens at Anglesey Abbey in Cambridgeshire. Or settle down for a storytelling session with Mrs Claus and try some festive-themed crafts at East Riddlesden Hall in West Yorkshire.
