A Christmas Night at the Museum

A Christmas Night at the Museum

As night falls, Ho-Ho-Hopetown transforms into a glowing Christmas wonderland... 

– and you’re invited to explore it all! From twinkling lights and glowing streetlamps to the scent of festive food in the air, our magical Christmas evenings are packed with festive cheer, perfect for a family night out or a cosy evening with friends.

Wander through our historic railway heritage site brought to life with the sparkle of Christmas. Enjoy live street theatre performances and soak in the sound of roaming carollers singing timeless Christmas classics. Grab a mulled wine or a creamy hot chocolate and indulge in festive treats from Clocktower Café. 

Children can let off steam in the fully illuminated Wagon Woods play area, while grown-ups take in the sights and savour the atmosphere. The whole site is buzzing with activity – a perfect blend of history and Christmas magic.

Whether you come for the lights, the laughter, or the late-night mince pies, magical Christmas evenings at Ho-Ho-Hopetown promises to be a night to remember.
