Santa has confirmed that he will be visiting with his elves once again this Christmas, but not at the Museum. Due to the exciting building works going on at the museum Santa is going to be in our tunnel at St Helen’s Parish Church, Carlin How.
Santa is visiting on Friday 10th December 2:30-4:30pm and Saturday 10th December 10am-4pm. and will be looking forward to meeting children of all ages. Santa will be giving out presents, but only after the elves have checked the Nice List!
“Santa’s visit is always a highlight of the year at Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum,” says Graham Banwell, Director at the museum. “Despite the museum being a building site, we were determined he should visit so we have removed some pews and built him a special tunnel with our friends at St Helen’s church. The volunteers at the museum are already getting ready to make everything festive and make Santa and the elves feel at home.”
Entry will be £2 per child, and there is no need to pre-book. There will be hot drinks, food and a tombola to raise funds for the museum, while there will be crafts and games to take part in while you wait to enter Santa’s tunnel.
For children with complex needs who may prefer to visit Santa at a quieter time, you can pre-book slots between 9.30 and 10am on Saturday when things will be quieter. To do this, please email jean@ironstonemuseum.co.uk.
The Museum would be very grateful for any donations of raffle prizes from individuals or local businesses, as well as pre-loved toys and cakes or snacks. Please contact graham@ironstonemuseum.co.uk with any donations.
