About

Join Father Christmas at Eltham Palace this winter for a magical way to start the festive season.

Father Christmas is taking time out of his busy festive schedule to tell some of his favourite seasonal stories around the Christmas tree. After the group storytelling session, you and your children will meet the man himself, with the chance to take photographs and make memories to treasure. Father Christmas will also give every child a traditional present to unwrap.

To make sure there’s room for everyone, only one adult is allowed to accompany each child. Father Christmas needs to start the sessions on time, so please arrive at least 15 minutes before your slot.

Sessions will take place at 10.20am, 11.00am, 11.40am, 12.20pm, 13:40pm, 14.20pm, 15:00pm.

Quiet Sessions with Father Christmas will take place on Sunday 30 November at 10.20am and Saturday 6 December at 3pm. Quiet Sessions are aimed at visitors who will benefit from a more relaxed visit with Father Christmas. During these sessions, there will be reduced capacity, allowing for more time, and a calmer experience. This includes the group storytelling session and a small present.
