Bring the whole family for a magical, relaxed visit to Santa in his cosy grotto. With timed slots, you can enjoy your moment without the rush. Children will have the chance to chat with Santa, receive a special gift, and take a festive photo to remember the day – don’t forget to share your pictures on Facebook or Instagram and tag us @NatMiningMuseum.

As part of your visit, little ones can write a letter to Santa and post it in our special North Pole post box. They can also take part in a simple Christmas craft activity, creating a festive keepsake to take home.

Tickets are £12.50 per child.
