Festive Things to Do
Christmas at the Castle
Christmas at the Castle is Warwick's festive extravaganza, running from November to early January across the castle grounds in Warwickshire. Families skate on an open-air ice rink set against Guy's Tower, walk through over half a million twinkling lights on a 64-acre trail, and meet Father Christmas for Stories with Santa. The castle transforms into a sparkling wonderland with illuminated projections, dazzling light displays, and a festive food and drink village serving mulled wine, hot chocolate, and seasonal treats. You can also book overnight Santa Sleepovers with elf wake-up calls and present deliveries for little ones. Book in advance to guarantee entry during peak times.
