Christmas is coming and youngsters can speak to Father Christmas direct from the North Pole as the Magical Portal returns to Himley.

Tickets start from just £5 for the popular event, which this year will run from Wednesday 14 to Sunday 18 December.

With a little sprinkling of festive magic, the magic portal will see Father Christmas appear on a giant screen in the beautiful courtyard of the historic stately home.

With the help of his companion Edward, children will be able to interact and speak with Father Christmas as he takes a short break from his busy schedule in the North Pole.

They can find out how the toys are made in the North Pole and tell Father Christmas what they’d really like on the big day.

Every youngster will receive a bespoke gift, while there will also be a Christmas market, food and refreshment stalls, festive street entertainment and a traditional funfair.
