Father Christmas has found a new festive home this year, as The Production Garden and the Holburne Museum team up to present Father Christmas’ Grotto – running from 28 November to 23 December.

Set in the beautiful gardens of the Holburne Museum, the much-loved Bath tradition promises an even bigger and more magical experience for 2025. Visitors can look forward to a 20-minute interactive adventure featuring professional actors and musicians, festive storytelling and plenty of Christmas cheer.

Families will be invited into Father Christmas’s cosy North Pole living room, where they can help the elves gently wake him from his nap before listening to tales of their plans to make this Christmas the most magical yet. Every child will receive an elf-crafted gift, with a small treat for grown-ups too, and there’s the chance to take your own photo with Father Christmas and his musical helper, Sprinkles.

Guests can also enjoy festive refreshments from the Café Chalet, offering a tempting menu of seasonal treats and drinks.
