Cliffe Castle Museum and Park will be helping the people of Keighley to get into the Christmas spirit with two special weekends of festive activities.

There’ll be something for everyone with a Santa’s grotto, live music, market stalls, family crafts and more across over Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 and Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 December, between 11am to 3.30am on each day.

Children will be able to see Santa Claus in the Bracewell Smith Hall at the Bradford Council-run museum.

Tickets for Santa’s grotto are £10 per child.

All proceeds from the Santa visits will go to the Keighley Lions.

A limited number of tickets will be available on the day, so booking your time slot in advance is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment. Book your tickets here

Saturday (9th) will start the festivities gently with a more relaxed ‘Santa only’ day.

The festivities build on Sunday 10 December with Santa’s grotto as well as live festive music from the Cricklemore Crewe.

On Saturday 16 Santa will be back in his grotto and there will also be a Christmas art and craft fair and family activities inside the museum, as well as winter nature crafts and mulled apple juice in the park.

Sunday 17 December will round off the festivities with the final chance to see Santa, as well as arts and craft stalls and family activities inside the museum.
