SANTA’S WORKSHOP AT THE ROYAL MINT EXPERIENCE
On this charming journey through Santa’s workshop, meet Santa’s Chief Helpers as they bring stories to life about some of our most loved Christmas traditions and explore the factory that creates special Christmas gifts.

A very special visitor will be arriving at Future Inn Cardiff Bay this festive season as Father Christmas drops by to join us for a homemade traditional Sunday lunch. He is busy preparing for Christmas Day but will make time for all the good boys and girls.
Spend some time with the family, get your Christmas jumpers on and head to the Bay for a festive lunch with Santa. You can expect a 3-course meal followed by a meet and greet with Santa in his grotto. Book online here.
MEET SANTA AT INSOLE COURT
Visit Santa in the Victorian Reading Room. You’ll be amazed by how much Santa knows about your children and he will enthuse them with the spirit of Christmas.
Santa also loves a ‘selfie’ and would love you to take a photo with him!
Following your visit, each child will be given a small gift and a magic token for a heart (and hand) warming drink in our tearoom. Book online here.
