Meet Father Christmas at Portland Basin Museum

Portland Basin Museum, Ashton-under-Lyne, OL7 0QA
Saturday 5th December 2026 11:00AM
Portland Basin Museum’s ever popular magical ‘Meet Father Christmas’ event is back and we can’t wait to welcome you. Father Christmas will be meeting and greeting children in our cosy old fashioned parlour on our 1920s street, which has been specially decorated for the festive season. Each child will receive a gift and you will have the opportunity to take a photo with Father Christmas. 

We are releasing tickets within 30 minute time slots, with 15 tickets available within that time slot. Your time with Father Christmas will last around 5 minutes and you can arrive any time within your 30 minute time slot. Tickets are £10 per child – please buy one ticket per child. Each child will receive a gift. If you bring more than one child, they can all go in the parlour to see Father Christmas at the same time. Please be aware you may have a short wait to see Father Christmas. Accompanying adults do not require a ticket.   

There will also be free self-led children’s craft activities available in the museum.
