– A Johnstown Christmas –
November 28th – December 22nd
With this shared Christmas experience, you will enjoy the festivities alongside other families from the beginning and throughout your visit, including your special moment with Santa, while still receiving your own individual family photos to treasure.
Whether you’re visiting Johnstown Castle for the first time or as part of our cherished community of families who return every Christmas, we welcome you to the wonderful Johnstown Castle, where traditions are treasured and new memories are made.
Your Shared Enchanted Christmas Experience lasts around 55/60 minutes, giving you and your family plenty of time to enjoy every magical moment.
– Baby’s First Christmas –
December 22nd
For one day only, Johnstown Castle is delighted to offer a gentle and intimate Baby’s First Christmas with Santa experience, created exclusively for babies aged 12 months and under.
This experience is designed for newborns and babies who may benefit from a shorter, calmer visit with Santa. Families will join a small group and, during their visit, each family will have the opportunity to meet Santa and Mrs Claus. You will then spend a few moments together and capture those precious first Christmas memories.
Our experience has been created with little ones in mind. It offers the magic of meeting Santa, without the games, activities and extended journey included in our Shared Christmas Experience.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our festive experiences this November and December at Johnstown Castle.
