The County Ground will be transformed this festive season, as Derbyshire host Santa’s Christmas Workshop throughout December.
Visitors young and old will be able to get into the Christmas spirit by stepping into a world of wonder and enchantment, where dreams come to life and holiday magic is around every corner. Join us this festive season for an unforgettable journey into Santa’s secret North Pole workshop.
There’s fun to be had for the whole family, with the chance to meet Santa Claus, write your letter to Santa and receive a special gift, create reindeer food with Mrs. Claus and so much more!
And, as part of our ongoing commitment to make The County Ground one of the most accessible sporting venues in the country, we will be hosting dedicated SEN and Deaf Sessions, further details of which can be found below.
