10 Christmas Events in Tunbridge Wells

Mistletoe, mulled wine, and mince pies—Christmas in Royal Tunbridge Wells is a truly magical time of year. After somewhat half-hearted celebrations over the past years, people all around the country are going bigger and better than ever before!  

Whether you’re seeking a cosy spot to feast on the finest Christmas dinner at The Brasserie, a fun-filled day out for the whole family at Christmas at Bewl Water, or a chance to meet the man in red himself at Salomons Estate, we’ve curated a list of some of the best events happening in Royal Tunbridge Wells this Christmas.  

Christmas at Bewl Water

Santa couldn’t miss a visit to Lamberhurst in Royal Tunbridge Wells. From November 18th to Christmas Eve, he’ll be setting up his workshop at Bewl Water. The largest reservoir in Southeast England, this parkland, popular for outdoor family adventures, has transformed its woodland into a magical winter wonderland for its newest experience: Christmas at Bewl Water.  

Tickets for Christmas at Bewl Water include festive activities like gingerbread decorating and reindeer food making, an exclusive meet and greet with Santa in his cosy grotto, and a present for each child.  

You’ll also enjoy live Christmas storytelling performances from the elves, marshmallow toasting in Candy Land, and seasonal treats from the Winter Warmers cabin. While you’re there, be sure to explore the themed magical lands and play zones and capture plenty of photos for lasting memories.  

Tickets are priced from £40 per child and £15 per adult, including parking for the event’s duration!
