Get ready for an enchanting Father Christmas experience this Winter! After you arrive at Chiddingstone Castle we have a special mission for the children. The Chiddingstone Castle team need their help. Denys' letter to Father Christmas has been damaged (possibly nibbled by reindeer). Luckily Denys left clues around the museum so follow the festive trail to find them and help complete his Christmas list.

When you have completed the trail step into the magical White Rose Room to be greeted by Mother Christmas who will get all the children settled in ready for a special storytime with Father Christmas. Once the children have all had a chance to listen to the story and ask any important North Pole related questions you will be shown to your table for a scrumptious afternoon tea.

During your dining experience Father Christmas will greet each table individually to say hello to all the children, find out what's on their Christmas list and gift them a goody bag. Finally head into the craft area and make a stop to create a Christmas craft to take home!
