Your Santa session.
Your booked time slot is your Santa session start time. Please arrive 10 minutes before your session start time to check-in.
Capacity is limited for each session therefore individual tickets must be pre-booked for children and adults/seniors. Children under 1 year will need a ticket but must be part of a booking with at least one adult and one full paid child (over 1 years). Please note: children under 1 year will not receive a souvenir gift.
During your visit.
In groups, you'll enter The Library to meet Santa's top team of enchanting elves and enjoy captivating performance (20 minutes).
You will be whisked away into a world of enchantment, where the spirit of Christmas comes alive through heartwarming storytelling, delightful music and an atmosphere filled with festive cheer.
This year a NEW show story will take place.
Seeing Santa.
In your individual family booking, you'll then meet Santa and enjoy some time to share your Christmas wishes before receiving a souvenir gift.
Each paid child (over 1 years) will receive an exclusive Kingston Christmas Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer plush toy and a limited edition 'A Kingston Christmas' story and activity book.
