Event:Write your Christmas Letter in the Victorian Schoolhouse

St Fagans National Museum of History

The elves are working on the big list of who's been especially good this year. Each child will visit Maestir School to meet one of Father Christmas' Elves, who will help them write their special letter. Then you'll pop round to our tiny Post Office to send it off to the North Pole.
