Meet Father Christmas at Clumber Park

Looking to create some special festive memories this year? Visit Father Christmas here at Clumber Park, located in our historic Parsonage.

  • Booking essential
  • Admission applies

Greeted by our friendly guides, you will spend time in Father Christmas' grotto where you can play with the toys and games.

One by one, each family will be called through to meet Father Christmas, he'll check his list and present each child with a magical coin. You can hand deliver your letter to Father Christmas with time to capture your memory with a photo. Our guides will be happy to help you take the perfect photo! After saying goodbye to Father Christmas, head through to the Elves toyshop to spend your coin on a gift of your choice before heading back into the Park to explore the rest of our Christmas experiences.

Wednesday sessions are quieter for those with sensory needs.

Each child ticket admits one accompanying adult for free to visit Father Christmas. Additional adult tickets can be purchased for £2.50 (card payments only) on the day as you enter the grotto. These additional tickets are available on a first come, first served capacity during each time slot this is due to room capacity and cannot be pre-booked.

Please arrive in plenty of time to book in. You must arrive at the beginning of your time slot e.g. if you have booked for 10:00 - 10:20, you must arrive for 10:00.

Father Christmas at Clumber Park is a special event and all visitors must purchase tickets as these are not included with your membership or admission to the Park and we ask that members scan their cards on entry as usual.
