Share a laugh and photograph with Santa in Castle Howard's Grotto this Christmas, which has moved locations to the Boathouse. Enjoy a short show by the much-loved Story Craft Theatre, bursting with energy and Christmas joy, before that all-important meeting with the man himself. All children take home a gift.

Enjoy a full day out at Castle Howard with a Santa’s Grotto in the Boathouse ticket, which includes access to the Gardens. If you’d like to add tickets to our main House event, Alice in Christmas Wonderland, you can do so. The Boathouse is located next to the Skelf Island Adventure Playground.
