Story time with St. Nicholas
Enter the festively decorated Dovecote to meet St. Nicholas, hear a special Christmas story, and receive a Christmas gift.
- Booking essential
As part of this special event, families can meet St. Nicholas under the twinkling lights of the historic dovecote.
Up to eight children at a time will be able to get cosy as they take part in a fun story time and receive a small gift. It's also the perfect photo opportunity if you want to share the memory.
Please note that the dovecote is limited for space so every child should be accompanied by one adult only. Tickets are £8 per child; their accompanying adult will not need a ticket.
