Festive fun at Kenilworth Castle

Families are invited to enjoy festive fun, creative crafts and a magical meeting with Father Christmas at Kenilworth Castle.

Visitors can get into the Christmas spirit early with a festive decoration workshop on November 14 and 15. Using recycled paper, participants will learn how to transform the pages of an old book into a charming folded-book Christmas tree along, alongside a selection of unique paper decorations to take home.

Festive fun returns during weekends in December. Family days include arts and crafts as well as a quest. Follow Ellie & Jack – two adventurous friends, on a magical journey around the expansive grounds as they learn all about the history and traditions of Christmas. Along the way, they’ll explore 12 festive stops, each filled with fun stories, exciting activities, and festive challenges. Meanwhile budding artists can get creative with Christmas card making and crafting a wooden bauble to take home. 

And no Christmas season is complete without a visit with our favorite festive fellow. After a group storytelling session meet Father Christmas, have your photo taken with him and unwrap a traditional present.
