An Audience with Father Christmas

A magical and memorable Father Christmas experience for children and families at Holkham Hall in North Norfolk

Father Christmas and Mother Christmas are on their way to Holkham this December, and they’d love to meet you and your little ones!

Step inside Holkham Hall for a magical Christmas adventure for the whole family. Meet Father Christmas’s singing and dancing Jingle Elves, journey through the spectacularly decorated State Rooms, then meet Father and Mother Christmas beneath the biggest, most magnificent Christmas tree you’ve ever seen!

Once Father and Mother Christmas have filled your hearts and minds with festive cheer, Father Christmas will check his 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.
