The Historic Dockyard Chatham is offering an interactive, family friendly experience for the first time this Christmas.

On selected dates between Saturday 26 November and Saturday 24 December, visitors can experience a journey into Santa’s substation, hidden deep in the Historic Dockyard.

Mission Christmas is a brand new Christmas experience, unique to The Historic Dockyard Chatham. It features a Father Christmas, who will task children with a special mission to make sure that each child receives their Christmas gift on Christmas Eve.

In addition to the Mission Christmas experience, the Mess Deck Restaurant will be open, serving festive food and drinks. The shop will be stocked with Christmas gifts and handmade products from the Master Ropemakers.

Olivia Horner, Commercial Director at Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust said, “We are very excited to be opening The Historic Dockyard Chatham this Christmas. We have developed a brand new, unique experience for families to come together and enjoy during the festive period. The Dockyard has been a secret substation for Father Christmas for over four centuries and, after much consultation with the man himself, he has granted us special permission to share this big secret for the first time this year.”
