Storytime with Santa 2026

Santa tells a new interactive Christmas story in his grotto, with a present and goody bag for each child, three festive crafts in the Makers Millhouse Elves’ Workshop, time to meet Santa and take photographs, and an on-site woodland activity trail.

Each timed story session lasts approximately 30–40 minutes. A child’s ticket includes decorating a Christmas bauble, making reindeer food and writing and posting a letter to Santa in the Makers Millhouse, plus a present and goody bag. Adult tickets include mulled wine, a mince pie and festive treats. Each child must be accompanied by at least one paying adult. The programme advertises the woodland trail and workshop from 10:00 to 16:00 on the visit day. General Christmas Eve site hours are 09:00–14:00, alongside a separately published 14:00 story session; check Christmas Eve craft and trail access with the venue.
