Christmas at Warwick Castle

Soak up the magic of Christmas on a family day out at Warwick Castle this winter as you enjoy the twinkling trees, stunning decorations and festive touches wherever you look. Back for Christmas 2026 is a variety of festive attractions, including the evening Light Trail. Gaze at the mesmerising twinkling lights and projections lighting up the castle, its grounds and the sky.

Meanwhile, the Open-Air Ice Rink invites visitors to enjoy ice skating in the shadow of the magnificent castle. All aged over three years are welcome and there are skate aids for kids (subject to availability) and a handrail around the outside for those needing extra confidence.

Other activities include:

• Stories with Santa. Enjoy some festive fun with Santa’s elves and then join Santa and Mrs Claus for storytime on selected dates only (there will be a gift for each child and a surprise for their grown ups)
• Traditional Family Pantomime in the Woodland Theatre on selected dates
• Winter Birds of Prey Display

Finally, for a very special treat, why not turn your day out into a short break and book a Santa Sleepover for the family? You will be woken by the sound of sleigh bells and an elf will bring a present for the children.

Availability of activities may vary depending on the date of your visit.

Various ticket options are available and advance booking is advisable to avoid disappointment.
