Christmas in Staffordshire

We’re all ready for a festive treat this year, more than ever!

There’s nowhere better to find it this Christmas than Staffordshire, where there are unforgettable festive days out, full of magic, wonder and sparkle.

As Staffordshire is still in the Tier 3 COVID 'Very High' alert level until at least 30th December, some attractions will be closed and events have been cancelled. 

However, some are still allowed to go ahead as they are taking place outdoors, in retail, leisure or sporting facilities, or online.

Please check in advance on individual attractions’ websites for details on advanced booking, face coverings and other public health guidelines.
