About
See Colchester Castle in a different light with a festive evening visit to Starlight Grotto. As darkness falls, fairy lights and candlelight set the scene for a special meeting with Father Christmas and his Castle helpers. Children can share their Christmas wishes and receive a festive gift, while families can enjoy hot chocolate or mulled wine with a mince pie or cookie. Each visit lasts around 10 minutes, with timed slots available on 21 and 22 December. Suitable for all ages. Advance booking recommended.
