This Christmas, a very special visitor is coming to Manchester all the way from the North Pole, for a magical Christmas experience you won’t forget! You guessed it – Santa Claus is coming to town! Bring the whole family to the Magical Father Christmas Experience at Wythenshawe Hall, presented in partnership with Sneaky Experience, for a memorable, festive, theatrical experience designed to push your imagination to its limits and get you in the Christmas spirit.

Experience magical, Christmassy storytelling and an enchanting interactive tour around the Wythenshawe Elves’ present-making workshop. Due to such high demand, the Elves are slightly behind time on their present wrapping this year, and it’s up to you to help them get back on track to ensure all the presents are delivered on Christmas Eve. As you follow these naughty elves around the Hall, you’ll be in hysterics at their silly jokes, rhymes and interactive games.

You will also get a chance to visit the ‘Jolly Elf’ Tavern for all sorts of fabulous festive fun and heart-warming Christmas cheer with the Elves and Mrs Claus, before meeting the jolliest, warmest, kindest man of all – Father Christmas himself. So bring your festive cheer, imaginations and smiling faces, and you can expect a Christmas experience you won’t forget.

The safety of you, your families and Father Christmas and his helpers is a top priority at the Father Christmas Experience at Wythenshawe Hall, therefore audience sizes are limited to small groups to ensure the event will be delivered within social distancing guidelines.
