On 22 December, experience the wonders of the Museum after-hours to celebrate the holiday season in style with Christmas at the Museum. Grab a mince pie and dig into an array of activities in this one-night-only festivity, from special seasonal science stations to wintery workshops. Tickets for Christmas at the Museum also include entry to the Museum’s current headline exhibitions, including Titanosaur: Life as the Biggest Dinosaur and Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

In the daytime, families can join onto one of many Storytelling with Santa sessions running throughout 11-23 December. Join Santa for a special Christmas story in a gorgeous grotto in the Museum, followed by both a festive photo with Father Christmas and a gift with every child’s ticket.

Finally, see in 2024 with a night at the Museum to remember. On 31 December, have your best fancy dress at the ready with a celebration themed around The Four Elements – earth, water, air and fire. Complete with live music, a silent disco and the chance to explore the Museum’s galleries after dark.
