Santa Visit and Christmas Through Time in Bromsgrove (2025) is a festive family event at Avoncroft Museum, where visitors can explore historic homes decorated traditionally, enjoy seasonal activities, and meet Santa. It runs on 6 & 7 December and offers trails, crafts, and gifts for children.
At the heart of Bromsgrove’s celebrations, the Christmas Through Time trail at Avoncroft Museum brings history to life with a magical seasonal twist. The museum, known for its collection of over 30 rescued and reconstructed historic buildings, transforms into a festive wonderland where visitors can discover how Christmas was celebrated across the ages. Each building is decorated in traditional styles, giving families a chance to step back in time and experience the warmth of historic holiday traditions.
Children are welcomed with a handmade Christmas Stocking, which they can fill as they journey through the trail. Along the way, they’ll encounter festive surprises tucked inside the historic homes, making the experience interactive and memorable. The trail is designed to blend education with fun, showing how customs evolved while keeping little ones engaged with hands-on activities.
Highlights include:
Christmas Stocking Trail: A unique way for children to collect festive treats and treasures as they explore.
Decorated Historic Homes: Each building showcases authentic seasonal decorations from different eras.
Seasonal Food & Drink: The museum’s cosy tearooms serve hot festive meals, mulled drinks, and sweet treats.
