Winter Festival at The Black Watch Castle and Museum

Experience the magic of Christmas at The Black Watch Castle and Museum with a festive family day packed with seasonal fun for all ages.

Meet Santa as he takes you on a magical tour through the Museum galleries, then put your elf skills to the test in our Elf Training Workshop, where budding elves can earn their very own elf certificate. 

Throughout the day, families can also enjoy cookie decorating, festive crafts including Cardboard-Tube Santas and Christmas masks, a Christmas trail through the Museum and a festive object handling table where you can discover historical Christmas artefacts.

With plenty to see, make and explore, the Winter Festival is a wonderful way to spend time together and make magical Christmas memories at the Castle.
