Elves, Shoes and St Nick!

Join us in the parlour for our nostalgic look at Christmases past, where Thomas celebrated his own family Christmas. Discover the story of St Nicholas and why they left out shoes instead of stockings. Get creative in our shoemakers workshop and become an elf as you fashion your own festive shoe to put by the fireplace.
