Christmas at Beamish 2025: Quiet Santa Sessions
Beamish is hosting three Quiet Santa Sessions in a sensory-friendly grotto, for visitors with additional needs.
These sessions will take place on 13th, 20th & 21st December 2025 and will cost £10 per person taking part in the experience, additional members of the party do not require a ticket to see Father Christmas. Only the person taking part in the experience will receive a gift (tickets subject to availability).
Father Christmas will be welcoming visitors to his sensory-friendly grotto at the 1820s Waggonway. These sessions are aimed at people with additional needs who may prefer to meet Father Christmas away from his busier grotto at Rowley Station.
Please note: Due to the nature of the room, if your party has more than one wheelchair, you will need to book separately for each user.
For more information, please email Samantha Swinbank, Volunteer and Access Co-ordinator, email samanthaswinbank@beamish.org.uk or tel. 0191 370 4001.
The Quiet Santa Sessions must be pre-booked prior to your visit (subject to availability).

Under 5s do not require a ticket to enter the museum but will require a Quiet Santa Session ticket if they wish to visit Father Christmas. Subject to availability.
