Description

Join us for a visit to the SS Great Britain! Step back in time to encounter a host of characters including Old Father Christmas and discover the dockland transformed into a winder wonderland complete with Christmas greenery and even falling snow!

To add even more festive cheer, there will be live music from a variety of choirs and or shanty bands. The live music and show will continue into the evening as the dockyard is illuminated by lamplight after 16:00.

Then come aboard the SS Great Britain to experience festive life at sea, from the scent of marzipan to the sight of traditional handmade decorations.

Please note the cost of the ticket does not include the cost to and from the venue.
