Breakfast with Santa: The air will be filled with the scent of a delicious cooked breakfast and the sparkle of Christmas cheer as guests settle in for a truly special morning. While everyone enjoys their meal, the jingle of sleigh bells will signal the arrival of Santa Claus himself! He’ll stop at every table to share a warm hello, hand-deliver a special gift to each child, and pose for that all-important festive photo to treasure forever. Cheerful elves will be on hand to spread extra Christmas joy and make sure everything runs as smoothly as Santa’s sleigh.

Spot Santa:

You never know where Father Christmas might appear at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery this festive season! Santa will be taking a break from his workshop for a wander around the museum, making surprise appearances through the galleries. Keep your eyes peeled and you might just spot the man in red as you explore.

Santa’s Workshop: Children will gather round to meet Farther Christmas, before heading to his workshop with our Christmas Elves for a hands-on craft activity. While families get creative, each child will be invited to meet Santa personally to receive a special gift and have a photo taken to remember the day. This 45-minute experience is filled with festive cheer, creativity, and memorable moments, making it the perfect way to celebrate the season together.
