Santa's Woodland Workshop

13th and 14th December
Times throughout the day

Spark joy with a magical festive experience for all the family. Step into Santa’s Woodland Workshop for a sneak peek at how Santa and his elves prepare for their busiest time of year. A staple in many Christmas calendars just got even better, as the cost of your visit will help change the lives of children and young people at Sheffield Children’s.

As part of a group, you will be greeted by Santa’s elves to learn all about how they get ready for Christmas. From the elves, you’ll learn why a star’s magic is so important on Christmas Eve, then step into the woodland workshop for the chance to make your own star to take home.

Then it’s time for the main event, as you head over to see Santa himself! As a group, you’ll visit his woodland lodge and enjoy a special story time together.

After your visit with Santa, the elves will welcome you into their gift shop, where each child can choose a special present to take home, and the whole family can enjoy a drink and a festive treat.

To finish off your festive adventure, we’ll help you get ready for the big day as you pop any last-minute letters into Santa’s sack and enjoy the chance to make your own reindeer food to leave out on Christmas Eve.
