Santa hunts
Sat & Sun’s from 29 November
+ Monday 22, Tuesday 23 & Wednesday 24 December
Embark on a journey through our historic town and help our Christmassy characters uncover the secret location of Santa’s Black Country grotto!
Wander through historic streets and along the way, little ones can write heartfelt letters to Santa, raise their voices in joyful song, and most importantly… uncover the clues to find Father Christmas himself!
Jolly Characters
Meet a host of jolly Black Country Christmas characters — each with their own merry mischief and seasonal sparkle.
They’re bustling with preparations for the big day and need your help to rediscover the Christmas magic. In return, they’ll share the secrets that will guide you to Santa’s hidden grotto.
Meet Santa
When your magical search comes to an end, you’ll be welcomed into Santa’s cosy hideaway for a festive chat, a special keepsake gift, and take your very own photo to treasure forever.
Glad Tidings
Only on Friday 12, Saturday 13, Saturday 20, Sunday 21, Monday 22 & Tuesday 23 December between 6.30pm-10pm…
It’s the time of year to bring friends and family together for a cosy evening here at the Museum. Gather around our open fires, sing along with traditional carollers and Fifties favourites, and enjoy traditional Christmas treats to get into the festive mood.
