Kents Cavern announces return of popular Christmas events

The festive season is set to get into full swing at Kents Cavern in Torquay, with the return of two popular Christmas events.

Recognised as one of the most important Stone Age sites in Europe, Kents Cavern boasts a fascinating history and has become one of Torbay’s most popular attractions.

Now, Kents Cavern is getting ready for Christmas, announcing the return of Santa in the Caves and Carols in the Caves this November and December.

Santa in the Caves

In the run-up to Christmas, families will have an opportunity to journey deep into the caves to greet some familiar festive friends.

Adventuring through the caverns, children will meet a cast of festive characters, listen to stories, join in with merry songs and discover plenty of surprises along the way.

Before meeting the big man himself, children must complete one final Christmas mission.

Every child will then get the chance to meet Santa and tell him their Christmas wishes, before receiving a special present, adding an extra touch of festive magic to the experience.

Santa in the Caves will run every weekend from November 28 until December 19, before opening daily from December 19 to December 24.

Carols in the Caves

This event offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the caves with a festive twist.

Guests can travel down under and enjoy a live choir performance of traditional carols and some festive favourites.

This is set to be a truly unique experience with the caves’ natural acoustics creating a magical atmosphere for an evening of festive music.

After the carols, guests can also enjoy a guided tour through the caves to learn more about the history of this captivating prehistoric site.

Those in need of a refreshment after can also enjoy some festive food and drink offerings at the café.

The performances will run from December 1 to 18, Tuesday to Friday, with sessions available at either 6pm or 7.15pm.
