About the Event

This December, families are invited to step back in time and experience the charm of Bletchley Park Vintage Santa’s Grotto — a truly magical Christmas encounter set within the park’s grand Victorian Mansion.

Father Christmas has returned to Bletchley Park with a team of secret helpers, ready to welcome visitors to a festive celebration filled with storytelling, laughter, and surprises. Each family begins their journey with one of Santa’s “North Pole operatives,” joining in interactive Christmas activities before being led to meet Father Christmas himself.

Children can share their Christmas wishes and receive a special gift to take home, while parents capture the moment with a photo — the perfect keepsake from a day of festive memories.
