Autism Friendly - The Royal Mint Christmas Experience 2025
Meet Santa and his elves as you venture through an enchanting workshop and discover timeless tales of festive traditions that begin with a single coin.
The first tour every day is exclusively an Autism Friendly Christmas Experience. This means you can arrive when the visitor centre is at its quietest, enjoy your tour in a smaller group, feel at-ease with toned-down sensory triggers, and take advantage of a minimal wait to meet Santa.
This experience sells out very quickly, please book in advance to avoid disappointment.
