  • Take a tour of Santa's workshop and discover the history behind coins in stockings, sixpences in puddings, and how the elves have been sorting letters and making toys alongside The Royal Mint's coins for hundreds of years!
  • All children will meet Santa himself, and leave with a gift to take home!

Not many people know this...but Santa Claus has been using The Royal Mint as his British base for hundreds of years! You see, Santa and his elves are at their busiest at this time of year and the workshop at the North Pole is often overflowing with toys.

This is where the Royal Mint comes in; Santa puts his trust in the organisation, which has a proud 1,100 year history of unrivalled craftsmanship, to help!
