Families are invited to step into the festive spirit at Kenilworth Castle this November and December, with a "magical programme" of Christmas activities, creative workshops and festive family fun.

Visitors can get into the Christmas spirit early with a festive decoration workshop on 14 and 15 November. Using recycled paper, participants will learn how to transform the pages of an old book into a charming folded-book Christmas tree along, alongside a selection of unique paper decorations to take home.

Festive Fun returns during weekends in December offering a wonderful day out for the whole family which includes arts and crafts as well as a quest.

Follow Ellie & Jack – two adventurous friends, on a magical journey around the expansive grounds as they learn all about the history and traditions of Christmas.

Along the way, they will explore 12 festive stops, each filled with fun stories, exciting activities, and festive challenges. Meanwhile budding artists can get creative with Christmas card making and crafting a wooden bauble to take home.

After a day of making magical memories, visitors can enjoy hot chocolate and a selection of festive treats in the tearoom.

After a group storytelling session meet Father Christmas, have your photo taken with him and unwrap a traditional present.

Carols at the Castle will also take place on Saturday 19 December, organised by Kenilworth Lions.
