More information

 

For families with babies and toddlers, or children who would like a similar experience to the standard sessions but may benefit from a slightly quieter and gentler approach, we recommend booking our session for  babies and toddlers, which is shorter, with a slightly reduced capacity, and includes calmer conversational elements.

This session still includes a reading of Twas the Night Before Christmas, a photo opportunity and a Christmas gift.  Babies and Toddlers Father Christmas

 

Relaxed Sessions: Sat 6, Sun 7, Sat 13, Sun 14, Sat 20, Sun 21, Mon 22 December – 10.15am 2025

These sessions are adapted to be more accessible and will have a more relaxed environment. Each session will be drop-in, so you are welcome to arrive at any point during the session (with last entry fifteen minutes before the end time), so there’s less pressure to have to arrive for a very specific time. Once you have arrived, you are welcome to stay for as little or as long as you like (up until the end of your session).   

 

The content of the sessions will be adapted from the standard sessions. Father Christmas will be seated on the floor, to help make the space feel a little less daunting, and he will be a little more mobile, meaning there is no pressure to feel you need to sit or stand still for a set amount of time. Father Christmas and his helper will be paying even closer attention to how families and children are feeling in the space and will adjust the session and their interactions as best as they can to help everyone enjoy the event in a way that suits them. Due to this, Father Christmas is not guaranteed to read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, but he may read some or all the story during the sessions if it feels appropriate.  Children will come away with a Christmas gift, and families will be able to take a photo with Father Christmas if they would like, but there will be no pressure.
