Event:Christmas Trail: Runaway Reindeer
We’ve got a festive pick and mix for you this year. Each weekend in December there’ll be a host of Christmassy fun to get you in the mood for the big day.
Explore our historic buildings which will be decorated in their contemporary Christmas finest, indulge in some festive food and drink from our restaurant, or take part in one of our seasonal events.
We’re expecting an appearance from a special Christmas character. Can you spot him as you walk around the Museum?
Christmas Trail: Runaway Reindeer
Help us save Christmas!
The mischevious elves have left the stable door open, and now Father Christmas' reindeer have scattered all across our museum grounds! With Christmas Eve fast approaching, we need your help to find them and bring them back to the North Pole in time for the most important night of the year.
