SANTA will be making his way down the chimney at Shakespeare’s Schoolroom and Guildhall in Stratford to greet families throughout December.
Joined by his elves and a cast of other jolly Christmas characters, Santa will be taking over the whole of the 600-year-old building, filling it full of festive magic all month.
And there will plenty of yule-tide activities too, including a Christmas quiz, story-telling, puzzles, music, Christmas crafts and games.
While the Tudor building will be decked out in its festive finery with Christmas trees, garlands and Santa’s sleigh – creating the perfect backdrop for family photos.
Lindsey Armstrong, General Manager of Shakespeare’s Schoolroom and Guildhall, said: “Santa and his teams of elves have planned a delightful experience that’s the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit. There are lots of traditional elements to enjoy, like the chance to meet Santa, and also some surprising twists along the way.
“In the Guildhall there is a festive quiz, riddles from fun-loving Puck and a Christmas story from Thursday the Elf. In the Georgian classroom you can make your own wrapping paper and have a go at some ‘take home’ Christmas craft activities. Then in the Schoolroom you will have a complete riot in a game show that will see families pit their wits and skills together against Mr Charles Dickens.
“Finally in the School Master’s Chamber Santa will be waiting to meet you for a chat and photographs before he invites you to place a Christmas wish on his Magic Wish Tree.”
Santa at the Schoolroom dates for 2022 are Saturday December 3, Sunday December 4, Saturday December 10, Sunday December 11, then daily from Saturday 17 December to Christmas Eve.
Tickets are £12.50 per person (under 2s go free) and can be booked at ShakespearesSchoolroom.org
