Step onboard the historic tall ship Kathleen & May before meeting Father Christmas in the Captain's Cabin for a unique and unforgettable experience where you can tell him your Christmas wishes. He'll be saving an early festive gift for you and with the help of his trusty crew, you'll receive a hot chocolate milkshake to help keep you toasty.
Organise a magical family day for shared fun and adventure to Gloucester and enjoy the famous Gloucester Quays Winter Market and Outdoor Ice Rink, the delights of the National Waterways Museum, the perfect Christmas destination, so get your skates on.
Ticket price of £12.75 per child includes meeting Father Christmas aboard Kathleen & May, a child's hot chocolate milkshake, a pirate loot bag, and a festive gift. The visit with Father Christmas will last approximately 5 minutes. This Christmas experience is suitable for ages 12 and under and is organised by the volunteers of the Kathleen & May and is a not-for-profit event.
There will be plenty of magical photo opportunities aboard!
Don't forget to provide each child's preferred name when you book your ticket so that Father Christmas can greet them personally.
As Kathleen & May is a historic ship and under maintenance it means that is is not suitable for wheelchair or buggy access. Access to Kathleen & May is over a gangway to the main deck with stairs leading to the Captain's Cabin. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Pre-book early before Father Christmas returns to the North Pole!
