Santa's Grotto in the Boathouse
Share a laugh and photograph with Santa in our Grotto this Christmas, which has moved locations to the Boathouse. Enjoy a short show by the much-loved Story Craft Theatre, bursting with energy and Christmas joy, before that all-important meeting with the man himself. All children take home a gift.
Enjoy a full day out at Castle Howard with a Santa’s Grotto in the Boathouse ticket, which includes access to the Gardens. If you’d like to add tickets to our main House event, Alice in Christmas Wonderland, you can do so on the next screen. The Boathouse is located next to the Skelf Island Adventure Playground.
Tickets allow a maximum of two adults per booking – this helps us make sure there is plenty of space in the room for children. Only paid-for child-tickets receive a gift.
