National Coal Mining Museum Unveils Two Magical New Christmas Experiences
This winter, the National Coal Mining Museum for England is bringing festive cheer to Yorkshire with the launch of two brand-new Christmas experiences designed to delight visitors of all ages.
On Saturdays 6 and 13 December, families are invited to enjoy a magical breakfast with Mrs Claus in the Museum’s newly refurbished café. Guests will be treated to festive activities, storytelling, and delicious seasonal food, along with a special opportunity to share their Christmas wishes, a perfect way for families to start the festive season.
From Saturday 22 November and throughout December, Santa will be setting up his enchanting workshop in the heart of the Museum’s historic Blacksmith’s Workshop. This immersive experience brings the magic of Christmas to life in a truly unique setting. Visitors will meet Santa and his team of busy elves, watch them prepare for the big day in their twinkling toy-making workshop, and enjoy a heartwarming Christmas story that captures the spirit of the season.
Children will embark on a festive journey starting at the beautifully decorated Pony Discovery Centre, meet charming Christmas characters, and create their own wooden keepsake to treasure for years to come. The workshop also features creative festive crafts and activities, and each child will receive a very special gift from Santa, a magical memento of their visit.
With glowing lights, a cosy atmosphere, and the joyful sounds of the season, the Museum promises more than just a visit, it’s a Christmas memory in the making.
Lynn Dunning, CEO, of the National Coal Mining Museum, said:
“We are thrilled to introduce two new Christmas experiences this year, all set within our stunning and unique heritage destination. From breakfast with Mrs Claus to Santa’s magical workshop, it will be a Christmas to remember.”
