The festive magic is happening at the Shropshire Council-run venue, where bookings are now being taken for visitors to meet Father Christmas in his traditional museum workshop.
People are invited to follow the special flagstones, through the tree-lined shut and enchanted stone archway, and up the original sweeping staircase.
Children are welcome to post a letter to Father Christmas in the special festive post office, and a cheerful elf guide will lead the tour through to a wonderous workshop, crammed full of history and magic, to meet Father Christmas himself.
Rob Gittins, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for culture and digital, said:- “Father Christmas must know we have all been very, very good to ask us to let him set up a workshop in the museum in Shrewsbury.
“It's very exciting he and the elves are going to be with us right up to 23 December when he will be preparing for the busiest day of his year, and I’m sure they'll be given a warm welcome from our museum team and by all the visitors who book to come along.
“As well as experiencing our lovely museum guests at Father Christmas’ workshop, you will be able to enjoy some Christmas themed arts and crafts at stations scattered around the museum; and Father Christmas has also promised a gift for every child who comes to see him.”
