a lot like Christmas Some people say it’s sacrilege to use the C word before December but it’s less than six weeks until the big day, and the weather is certainly reminding us that its winter now. So it’s time to start getting excited about… CHRISTMAS! At the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum there are certainly a whole raft of things taking place to get you and your family into the Christmas spirit. The festivities begin on Tuesday 26th November with the Eastwood Christmas Lights Switch On even and as part of this fantastic celebration, the Christmas Fairy will once again be visiting the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum. The ever popular Christmas Fairy who is a good friend of Father Christmas will be in her Grotto at the museum from 6pm-8pm, ready to hear your Christmas wishes. Visits to the Fairy cost £4 per child and include a goody bag. There will be Victorian themed street entertainment whilst you wait and mulled wine and cake made to a traditional Victorian recipe! This year, for the first time, you can pre-book your visit to the Fairy between 5pm-6pm; pre-booked admission is £7.50 for up to three children.

If you’re inspired by the beautiful decorations around the house why not have a go at making some yourself? The museum will be hosting a Winter Wonderland where you can have a go at making traditional decorations such as cornucopias and pegdoll angels, as well as paper chains to decorate your Christmas tree at home!
Whilst you’re at the museum let your kids hunt for all of the Naughty Elves who are hiding somewhere in the house; some of Father Christmas’ Elves have escaped and explorers are needed to help find them and report their whereabouts so he can round them up! What’s more, Father Christmas will be visiting each Saturday from 30th November to 21st December. Bring your little ones, who can let him know how good they’ve been ensuring that they end up on the ‘nice list’, and won’t need to receive a lump of coal this year! Visits to Father Christmas cost £4
