About

Come and meet Father Christmas and Father Christmas will be visiting the priory again this year, bringing seasons greetings, holiday cheer and of course, plenty of presents!
Children can come along and see him in the refectory, before completing our festive activity trail, creative Christmassy crafts, storytelling sessions and other family friendly activities.

Accompanying adults and under 3's attend for free.

Prebooking is essential for this event, tickets sell fast so don't miss out!

Tickets are organised into half hour time slots to reduce queuing and ensure each child gets plenty of time with Father Christmas, and you will be able to visit him any time within that half hour. There will be time for each family to see him, receive a present (per child) and take a festive photo.

Please note: Prittlewell Priory opens at 11:00 and closes at 16:00. If your timeslot to see Father Christmas is at 15:30, make sure to arrive early enough beforehand to enjoy the other activities before the house closes and the event ends.
