Ho Ho Howay! Be the first to try Newcastle’s newest Christmas tradition at Discovery Museum. 

A Canny Christmas Grotto is a magical Geordie-themed festive experience complete with a visit to Santa in a traditional grotto decked out in black and white – with elves to match.

Families can experience a warm welcome in an inclusive and friendly space with twinkly lights and a sprinkle of Geordie charm.

Tickets include a hot chocolate, sweet treat, festive crafts and photo opportunities in a giant sleigh, all jollied along by the friendly Geordie elves. Children under 12* will receive a gift from Santa too.

Every member of the party needs a ticket. *Babies under 18 months go free but must have a ticket to receive a gift.
