Relaxed sessions 

During relaxed Christmas sessions for families, Father Christmas and his helper will be paying closer attention to how families and children are feeling and will adjust the session to their needs. These sessions work on a drop-in basis, allowing parents and children to arrive or leave at any time. Additionally, children are not expected to sit or stand still for a set amount of time. Due to the flexible nature of the session, Father Christmas may not read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’. However, children will receive a Christmas gift and can take a photo with Father Christmas.   

Dates: Sunday 8 December, 3.45pm | Sunday 15 December, 10.15am | Sunday 22 December, 10.15am

Good Morning with Old Royal Father Christmas 

These sessions are designed for families with very young children and babies, or children who may benefit from a slightly quieter and gentler approach. They will have the same elements as the standard session, but they will be shorter, with reduced capacity, and with calmer conversational elements.
