Family Christmas morning with storytelling by Father Christmas, gingerbread decorating and children's crafts in the Guildhall's medieval Great Hall.
Storytelling with Father Christmas runs at St Mary's Guildhall on 28 November, 5, 19 and 23 December, with each session held in the medieval Great Hall. It's a morning built for families: storytelling with Father Christmas and his helpers, gingerbread decorating and children's crafts. Every child meets Father Christmas and goes home with a small chocolate selection box.
The sessions sit at the heart of the Guildhall's Christmas programme, which draws on Coventry's Victorian and Tudor traditions and how they've shaped the way we do things now. The Great Hall is one of the city's most historic rooms, and it's where the morning takes place. For families with sensory needs, there are relaxed sessions with sounds and lights turned down, fewer guests and a chill-out space, and the gingerbread decorating moves into the medieval kitchen.
If you're looking for more, the Guildhall has a full festive line-up running alongside: Tudor and Victorian themed workshops, Gatsby nights set in 1928, carols by singers from Coventry Cathedral and a festive murder mystery night set on Christmas Eve 1836.
