Forget the crowded shopping centre grottoes and chilly queues. This Christmas, Warwick Castle is offering families the chance to live out a festive fantasy with its Santa Sleepover experience for 2025.
What is the Santa Sleepover?
This unique overnight package transforms a typical Christmas outing into an immersive adventure. Instead of a brief visit with Father Christmas, families get to stay overnight within the historic grounds of the castle, surrounded by festive decorations and surprises from the moment they check in.
The real highlight occurs the following morning. At around eight o'clock, children are given a magical wake-up call when one of Santa's elves knocks on the door of their lodge or hotel room, bearing a special gift to start the day.
What's Included in Your Festive Break?
The package is designed to be a seamless, stress-free festive experience. Key inclusions are:
- Two days of entry to Warwick Castle.
- Themed evening entertainment to get everyone into the Christmas spirit.
- Breakfast and parking are covered.
- A private, half-hour story session with Father Christmas himself in a warm, dedicated room, away from crowds and queues.
Families also have the option to enhance their visit by adding discounted tickets for the popular Light Trail or the castle's ice rink, creating a complete festive weekend.
Booking Details and Key Dates
The Warwick Castle Santa Sleepover will run on selected dates throughout November and December 2025. Prices are competitive, starting from just £67 per person, based on a family of four sharing.
Given the unique nature of this event, these short break packages are known to sell out quickly. Families interested in creating these lasting Christmas memories are advised to check availability and book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
This immersive experience offers a stark contrast to the usual rushed Santa visit, providing the time and setting to create a cherished family memory that truly captures the magic of Christmas.
