Christmas at the Castle

Start a new tradition this year with Christmas at the Castle!

Meet Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the mischievous elves in the stunning staterooms as they share a heartwarming story of festive hope and joy with our magical Stories with Santa experience. Glide across the spectacular open-air ice rink under the historic and iconic Guy’s Tower, wander through a sparkling outdoor light trail featuring over half a million twinkling lights to dazzle and delight, and wrap up warm for a stroll through the enchanting Christmas food and drink village.

Brand new for 2024, guests can revel in our all-singing, all-dancing Traditional Family Pantomime, spreading festive cheer to all ages. The Snow Queen on Horseback offers a spectacular photo opportunity, while little ones will be enchanted by the new Winter Princess Tower Storytime, brimming with magical tales. Additionally, children will be delighted by the new Stories with Santa story time and a special gift. To top it all off, our brand-new light trail installations will dazzle and delight everyone!

After a day filled with festive fun, why not extend magic with a Santa Sleepover short break in the brand-new Warwick Castle Hotel or cosy Woodland Lodges and enjoy an extra-special elf wake-up call, bespoke Santa story time, and traditional pantomime.

With all of this and more in one magical destination, you’re sure to feel the Christmas spirit at Warwick Castle.
