Feel free to enjoy the spirit of Christmas in Staffordshire.
Give the family some early Christmas presents with sparkling fun-filled festive days out in Staffordshire. It’s time to celebrate the season in style, with lights, laughter and special events, Christmas shopping and tempting food and drink, there’s something for all ages.
Santa Claus is coming to town! And who can blame him when there's so much for him to see and do? He's on stage for the live shows at the SnowDome, on board for magical journeys at Churnet Valley Railway and Foxfield Railway, and in his grotto at Drayton Manor Park, Peak Wildlife Park and Lower Drayton Farm too!
Staffordshire's festive season is packed with spectacular light shows, like the unforgettable retelling of The Christmas Story at Lichfield Cathedral, a million lights around the gardens at The Trentham Estate, and a woodland bathed in colour at Weston Park. Alton Towers Resort hosts Europe's largest light and lantern festival, and you can see the memorials like you've never seen them before at the National Memorial Arboretum.
There's nowhere better than Staffordshire for getting all your Christmas shopping done. McArthur Glen Designer Outlet West Midlands is packed with bargains from your favourite brands, while World of Wedgwood is perfect for something more unusual. Newcastle-under-Lyme has gifts galore at the Winter Vegan Market, and the bustling markets at Middleport Pottery, and in Leek town centre, are bound to get you feeling festive.
See 2021 out in style, and welcome in 2022, with a sumptuous afternoon tea - and bottomless Prosecco - at World of Wedgwood, experience a pulsating day of horse-racing at Uttoxeter Racecourse, a soothing spa day at Hoar Cross Hall, or a night on the dancefloor at Three Horseshoes Country Inn.
Burn off some of those Christmas pounds with a bracing winter walk. Take the family and hunt for the Gruffalo at Cannock Chase Forest, soak in the stunning scenery of The Peak District, and escape to the peaceful woodlands of The National Forest.
