Warwick Castle has launched its Santa Sleepover breaks for 2025, offering an overnight stay with elves, gifts and a private story session with Father Christmas.
For most families, a festive day out means a chilly queue to see Santa, a quick photo if you are lucky, and then it is straight back in the car.
But at Warwick Castle this winter, there is a completely different option that feels closer to a childhood dream than a shopping centre grotto.
It is the Santa Sleepover, and it does exactly what the name suggests. Families stay overnight in the grounds of the castle with festive touches and surprises from check-in to breakfast, creating the sort of Christmas memory that actually lasts.
The real magic happens the next morning. Instead of rushing out early to find a grotto, the grotto comes to you. At around eight in the morning there is a knock at your lodge or hotel room door, and one of Santa’s elves is waiting outside with a present and a festive wake-up for the children.
The overnight package includes two days of castle entry, themed evening entertainment, breakfast, parking, and a proper story session with Santa himself. There are no lines and no loud crowds, just a quiet half-hour visit with Father Christmas in a warm, decorated room. Families can also add discounted tickets for the Light Trail or ice rink to turn it into a full festive weekend.
The Santa Sleepover runs on selected dates in November and December 2025 with prices starting at £67 per person based on a family of four. These short break packages usually book up quickly, so it is worth checking early if you are planning ahead.
