About

Discover the magic of Christmas and join Santa's elves on a festive adventure at Fort Nelson.

A Christmas Wish will take visitors on a magical journey with 12 special installations around the Victorian fort – and admission is free.

The Victorian fort will be transformed into a festive fort with Christmas trees, wreaths and decorations round every corner.

Younger visitors can train to be an elf and get hands-on with games and workshop tasks - sorting presents, preparing reindeer food, plus lots of other magical activities.

A special free guidebook, full of puzzles and activities will keep everyone entertained on the free trail booklet.

A Christmas Wish runs from Saturday November 23 to Sunday January 5 - Tuesday to Sunday, with late evening sessions on Thursday and Fridays before Christmas. The experience is for everyone, young and old, especially the young at heart!

Visitors will need to book their free tickets in advance at royalarmouries.org to guarantee their visit, as there is limited capacity on site.
