Christmas Toymaker's Workshops
Take part in a Christmas workshop with the Toymaker, perfect for little crafty hands.
Step into a world of Christmas creativity with our Toymaker’s Workshop, perfect for little crafty hands.
Kids can choose from four traditional wooden toys to craft and take home.
Clapper Toy: a noisy favourite with ancient roots in Roman and Greek traditions.
Balancing Bird: inspired by Victorian science and Eastern ingenuity.
Catch Toy: from the classic Cup and Ball to global variations like the Kendama.
Marbles Bridge: roll marbles through Tudor-style arches for points and fun.
While the kids get crafty in Swanley Workshop, grown-ups can relax with a hot drink and soak up the twinkly festive atmosphere at Swanley Grange.
Each workshop lasts 30-40 minutes and is led by our friendly Toymaker, guiding children through the making process with easy-to-follow steps.
Workshops are priced at £10 per child which includes the experience and wooden toy kit. Standard admission to the site still applies. Visit the home page to find admission prices.
Please note:
- Standard admissions charges apply to non-members on arrival. Visit the home page to find admission prices.
- Head to the festive hub at Swanley Grange, just a 5 minute walk from the visitor centre.
- Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal is an outdoor site. Sturdy footwear will help with uneven ground and steep hills and warm clothes and waterproofs might be a good idea too.
- Swanley Grange is accessed on level ground from the Visitor Centre, a 10 minute walk. From West Gate (15 minutes) or Studley (30 minutes) there is a steep hill (15-20% gradient) to access Swanley.
- Children must be accompanied by an adult.
