Meet Father Christmas in his Traditional Museum Workshop

Wed-Fri 23-23 Nov - Dec 2022 Meet Father Christmas in his Traditional Museum Workshop

The festive magic has begun at Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery, where Father Christmas is now welcoming families to his traditional museum workshop. The elves have been busily preparing to meet you and your family. Follow the flagstones, through the stone archway and begin your climb up the original sweeping staircase.

Children are welcome to post a letter to Father Christmas – look out for our post box on your journey. A cheerful Elf guide will lead you through to a wonderous workshop, crammed full of history and magic, to meet Father Christmas himself! Tell him your Christmas dreams and wishes and receive an early gift.

Keep the magic alive as you follow the Christmas toy trail, exploring our fascinating galleries and try your hand at some of the free festive craft activities.

A delicious mug of hot chocolate, or a mulled wine and mince pie at the Stop Café, will complete your traditional Christmas treat.  Don’t forget to browse the thoughtful and indulgent gifts, books, and pocket-money treats in our museum gift shop.

Please follow the links to book your time slot to meet Father Christmas.
