Wakefield Museums and Castles

Relaxed family festive fun and a visit from Father Christmas!* 

Join us this Christmas season for a relaxed day of free festive activities and crafts for SEND families. 

Explore the sights, smells and texture of Christmas.

Craft some colourful Christmas decorations to decorate your home. 

*You will need to book a time slot in advance to Father Christmas in his cosy museum grotto.

Time slots will be available to book at 8am on Wednesday 1 October. Slots are limited to maintain a relaxed atmosphere. This means you don't have to queue.

No booking is required for the drop-in crafts and activities.

All activities, including meeting Father Christmas, are free.
