CHRISTMAS AT THE DREAMERY GARDENS AND MUSEUM 2026
Meet Father Christmas (St Nicholas) and hear his stories and meet silent Lady Winter in their Yuletide grottos this Christmas.
Our St Nicholas mirrors the Father Christmas of the past: a wandering storyteller, miracle-worker and a protector of children, bringing light, generosity, abundance and celebration to the dark months of winter. He is one of the fairy folk: the Holly King, clothed all in green and crowned in evergreens and ivy. Lady Winter, his female counterpart, is the introspective part of winter. In her grotto, experience the beauty in the barrenness of winter, which she tells us brings an opportunity to rest, to be still and to dream. She shows us the gift of silence and inner strength that can be found find in the cold and solitude winter brings.

Dress warmly, and gather, in the Northwood kitchen courtyard 15 minutes before the start time to allow us to guide you to Lady winter and onto St Nicholas grotto, before being taken to the woodland grotto to make a wish with Lady Winter and then a short story with St Nicholas, a very experienced story teller, aimed at the whole family. The event last approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes (excluding the gardens, museum and cafe)
