What’s on

An Audience with Father Christmas

Ho ho ho!

He’ll soon be filling his sleigh with gifts and on his way to Norfolk, and you and your little ones are invited to a very special Audience with Father Christmas at Holkham.

Step inside the stunning Hall, where you’ll be met and entertained by Father Christmas’ all-singing, all-dancing band of Ukelele 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!

Father Christmas will fill your hearts and minds with festive cheer. As well as enjoying some time with Father and Mother Christmas, 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!

Included in your visit is a gift, drink and biscuit for every child and a glass of Prosecco or soft drink and tasty mince pie for all accompanying adults. Yum!

Child tickets, including a small present, are valid for ages 0-12. We recommend this experience for age 12 and under. Any children over the age of 12 should book a teenage ticket. All children must be accompanied by an adult and all adults must be accompanied by a child.

Please inform us when booking if anyone in your party has any particular access, dietary or other requirements. Please check your dates and times carefully, as any changes to your booking will each incur a £10 administration fee. Please arrive 15 minutes before your booked time to ensure the event can start on time.

Why not enjoy a winter walk around Holkham Park or head to the Courtyard Café and Gift Shop before or after your visit?
