Event Details

During Queen Victoria's reign (1837-1901), Christmas customs in Great Britain enjoyed a significant revival, including the figure of Father Christmas himself as the emblem of 'good cheer'.  And, her husband Prince Albert helped to make the Christmas tree as popular in Britain as they were in his native Germany when he brought one to Windsor Castle in the 1840s.

Join us for a visit from Father Christmas as he sits by our tree and listens to your Christmas Wishes!
