Meet Father and Mother Christmas to Torre Abbey this December.
Celebrate Christmas at Torre Abbey with Father and Mother Christmas
We are delighted to announce the return of Father and Mother Christmas to Torre Abbey this December, bringing festive cheer to our beautifully transformed Undercroft Winter Wonderland.
This year, families can enjoy this magical experience across three festive weekends:
Dates for 2025
Saturday 6 & Sunday 7 December
Saturday 13 & Sunday 14 December
Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 December
Following the overwhelming popularity of last year’s event, we’ve added an extra weekend to ensure more families can enjoy this heart-warming tradition.
Each family will enjoy exclusive time with Father and Mother Christmas, and every paying child will receive a specially wrapped, age-appropriate gift. In addition to meeting Santa, families can take part in a range of festive activities, including:
A magical garden trail
A hunt for the Sugar Plum Fairy
Seasonal games to enjoy together
A family photo opportunity to capture the moment
We are committed to making this a joyful and inclusive experience for all. If your family has specific needs, please contact us at torreabbeyenquiries@torbay.gov.uk and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements.
Booking is essential – this event is extremely popular and spaces fill up quickly. Don’t miss your chance to make magical memories with your loved ones this Christmas.
