A Kingston Christmas SEN Sessions
When? 30 November 2025
Where? Dorchester
Come and see Santa at Kingston Maurward this Christmas!
Your booked time slot is your session start time. Please arrive 10 minutes before your session start time to check-in.
We have reduced the capacity for each session to 8 children.
In groups, you'll enter The Library and meet Santa's top team of enchanting elves. There, you'll enjoy a captivating performance (Duration: 20 minutes). You will be whisked away into a world of enchantment, where the spirit of Christmas comes alive through heartwarming storytelling, delightful music and an atmosphere filled with festive cheer. In your individual family booking, you'll then meet Santa and enjoy some time to share your Christmas wishes before receiving a souvenir gift.
The technical production elements in the performance will be reduced along with the volume level of all the audio. All main lights will be left on and children will be welcome to leave and re-enter the space as required. Children will also have the opportunity to meet all of the characters in a relaxed setting before the performance begins.
Gift for each paid child: A Kingston Christmas Souvenir Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer plush toy + Limited Edition 'A Kingston Christmas' story book.
FREE PARKING is available to all guests at A Kingston Christmas and before/after your Santa visit, you are welcome to enjoy all of the other offerings at Kingston Maurward including the Animal Park and Gardens. There are 35 acres of beautiful formal gardens, sweeping lawns, lakeside walks plus a collection of animals. Enjoy a stroll followed by a cup of tea and a piece of cake from the Barn Café and let the children run and play in the indoor or outdoor play areas.
Please note: The access from The Library to see Santa is not accessible for wheelchair users but an alternative route will be provided. The Library and grotto areas are not suitable for pushchairs.
You are invited to take your own photos during the event but filming inside The Library element is strictly prohibited. Event photography will be available during your visit.
