Meet Father Christmas at Ludlow Castle!

Sat-Tue 7-24 December 2024 Meet Father Christmas at Ludlow Castle!

Make a date this December for a magical experience with the family, as Father Christmas will be ready to meet you in his cosy tower in the castle.  Your personalised visit will include time for each child to share their wishes, snap some photos and leave with an age-appropriate gift as a memento of this special experience. Don’t forget to explore the castle, admire the Christmas trees in our Christmas Tree Trail, and vote for your favourite!

Father Christmas will be at the castle on 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th December.  Booking slots are available from 10.00am to 3.50pm on all days apart from Christmas Eve, when Father Christmas will be flying off at 1.00pm to prepare for the busy night ahead!

Timed tickets to see Father Christmas must be purchased online.  Tickets are £8 per child, which includes castle admission.  Castle admission applies for all accompanying adults and children.

The castle is open 10am – 4pm daily with the last entry at 3.15pm. The Christmas Tree Trail is included in the price of admission to the castle.
