Join Santa and his staff for a traditional Christmas story in Hawksworth Hall on Saturday 6 December, or Sunday 7 December. Little ones will enjoy a festive story and wrapped gift.
Sessions last around 20 minutes and cost £10.50 per child, in addition to Christmas at STEAM event admission.
Places are limited to ensure children receive a quality experience. To book your child onto a session, please click on your preferred date and time, then select the age group of the child below. On the day, please make sure you arrive at the hall at least five minutes early to be ready for the story. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
