What’s on
An Audience with Father Christmas – sold out
This event has now sold out. But the magic continues at our Holkham Hall by Candlelight Family Day; a chance to see the sparkling staterooms with a special visit from Father Christmas.
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
Father Christmas and Mother Christmas are on their way to Holkham Hall this December, and they’d love to meet you and your little ones!
Step inside the stunning Hall, where you’ll be met and entertained by Father Christmas’ all-singing, all-dancing band of Jingle elves. They’ll take you on a journey through the magnificent State rooms, magically decorated for Christmas, before finding Father and Mother Christmas waiting for you in the Saloon with the biggest, most beautiful tree you ever saw!
Once Father and Mother Christmas have filled your hearts and minds with festive cheer, Father Christmas will check his naughty or nice list and invite families up individually to receive their small gift and hear all about what’s on this year’s Christmas lists! There will also be a chance to take photographs.
With his magical Christmas tales and small gifts for the little ones, this is an experience to delight the whole family and well and truly get you into the festive spirit!
The details
Included in your visit is a small gift, drink and biscuit for every child and a glass of Prosecco or soft drink and tasty mince pie for all accompanying adults. Yum!
