Santa’s Workshop is a magical, theatrical experience where each child and adult gets the opportunity to enjoy getting ready for Christmas with Santa’s Elves. The experience starts with an inter-active theatre experience followed by a group visit to meet Santa in his drawing room, who has his Naughty and Nice Book with him – and will make it a unique and individual experience for each child in the room, before giving them an early Christmas gift and having their picture taken with him individually or with their family and friends* (whichever they prefer)!
