Father Christmas comes to Museum of London Docklands
Snow has fallen, the decorations are up, carols are being sung – it can only mean one thing.
Stroll through our Sailortown gallery decked out in festive decorations to meet Santa in his Dickensian-style grotto. And if you’ve been nice, you'll receive a gift!
Each ticket includes a memorable visit with Santa and an age-appropriate gift to take home. Inspired by traditional Victorian toys and games, these special presents are made from classic materials with minimal plastic.
We hope all families can enjoy the magic of the Santa experience and create special memories together. Santa may look a little different from what every child imagines, but the spirit of the experience is for everyone to enjoy.
Photography is allowed, so feel free to take a photo to capture the moment before exploring the museum.
Adults don't require tickets but must accompany children. Babes in arms are welcome to join a session with their siblings without a ticket, but they won't receive a present.
Quiet sessions
We understand that visiting Santa can be overwhelming for some children, so we offer quiet, sensory-friendly sessions from 09:45-10:00.
