The Christmas Makers Guild - Family Christmas Event

The Christmas Makers Guild is the main family Christmas event at Dudley Canal & Caverns, the Black Country's underground limestone caverns.

We all know Santa lives in the North Pole, but not everyone realises that Christmas itself is made in one of Santa's Outposts, right here beneath Dudley. Help the elves get things ship-shape for Santa's visit.

What to expect:

• 12 dates: 4-6, 11-13 and 18-23 December 2026, Fridays, weekends and then daily from the 21st
• "A 45-minute underground boat trip, with elves, light shows, festive music, magnificent decorations, and all the sights, sounds and even smells of Christmas!"
• "The chance to meet Santa in person as he inspects the workshops"
• Six Christmas Making Departments to explore, from Toy Workshop to Wrapping
• Wrap up warm in your brightest Christmas jumper - the elves love them
• Adult £23.00, Child £23.00, Under 3s £15.00, Under 1s £7.50
• Quieter versions run on 11, 19 and 23 December - see the Quiet Boats listing
