Audley End House and Gardens: Join Father Christmas for seasonal stories around the tree this December

Father Christmas is taking time out from his busy schedule to hold magical festive storytelling sessions at Audley End House and Gardens.

Every weekend in December, the man in red will greet children and their families around the Christmas tree inside English Heritage’s Jacobean stately home near Saffron Walden. After the story, children can have photos taken with Santa and receive a traditional gift to unwrap.

The sessions are on December 2-3, 9-10, 16-17 and then every day from Wednesday the 20th to Saturday the 23rd.

Tickets cost £9.50 per child. They will also need a ticket for the house itself (English Heritage members can bring up to six children free). To book online visit https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/whats-on/audley-end-father-christmas/
