Video Calls with Father Christmas

Video calls with Father Christmas have now sold out.

Make this Christmas extra special with a video call with Father Christmas!

We’re delighted to be able to offer Father Christmas video calls again this year, where children can talk to Father Christmas from their own homes!

Father Christmas will be by the fireside in his festive Edwardian cottage at the museum, chatting to children about their present wish list and he’s sure to know a few things about them already, as he checks his naughty or nice list!

Families will also have the chance to invite other family members or friends to join them during the unique experience – meaning loved ones from all over the world can enjoy the magical moments.

Please note, this is a virtual experience to be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home. This experience does not include a visit to Beamish Museum.

Video calls last up to 10 minutes and cost £20 (for up to four children), £2 extra for every additional child.
