Santa at New Lanark

The New Lanark Xmas Experience may be out of town but it takes place every weekend until Christmas.

Bosses have added an opportunity for under-fives to come along on a Wednesday.

This is so little ones avoid the busy peak times and queues at the weekends.

The under-fives ticket will include all of the Christmas attractions as well as a Victorian Christmas Tour that does not take place during the weekend.

New Lanark resembles a giant toy factory and it is situated at the foot of the Clyde Valley.

Your guide, Holly, will tell you all about Christmas past and present before visiting Santa’s Grotto and enjoying some festive arts and crafts. Santa’s elves are also planning some fun activities.

There is also a pantomime, Beauty And The Beastie, brought to New Lanark by the Arkeen Theatre Company. This must be booked separately.

It is based on the classic fairytale but the festive pantomime will not take place on Wednesdays.
