Under 5’s Story Time with Father Christmas at The Museum of East Dorset

Under 5’s Story Time with Father Christmas at The Museum of East Dorset logo

This year, we are excited to introduce a special mid week session just for pre-schoolers!

Step into the magic of Christmas and join us for Story Time with Father Christmas!

Before your visit, children can get creative with a range of festive crafts – the perfect way to make any day more magical!

Listen carefully for the jingling of the Elves’ bell – your signal that it’s time to visit Father Christmas himself!

The Elves will meet you in the kitchen and lead you through to the grotto, where Father Christmas is waiting to share his favourite festive tales. Children will spend 30 enchanting minutes with Father Christmas, enjoying cosy story time and choosing a special present to take home.

Your ticket also includes free entry to the museum on the day. Feel free to arrive early so you can make the most of your festive outing.

Please note: due to limited space in the grotto, each child may be accompanied by one adult.

After your visit, feel free to make your way to our Tearoom, where you can relax and enjoy a delicious selection of festive treats, warming drinks and Christmas cheer. (Extra charges apply.)
