Pull up a chair for a magical breakfast fit for champions, served with a generous helping of festive cheer. We’re delighted to welcome a very special guest to the Board Walk Restaurant: Old Father Christmas himself.

Start your day with a hearty breakfast and a touch of seasonal magic. Little ones can create their own pancake spaghetti, a playful nod to the much-loved Christmas film Elf. Afterwards, they’ll meet Old Father Christmas for a joyful photograph to take home.

Meanwhile, grown-ups can relax with a tea, coffee or juice and enjoy the festive atmosphere. The dockyard will be alive with the sights, sounds and flavours of Christmas.

Your ticket includes breakfast for adults and children, plus a hot drink or juice on arrival. It also includes an interaction and photo opportunity with Old Father Christmas, and a digital image of your group to treasure.

Please arrive promptly at 8.30am at The Board Walk Restaurant to begin your experience.

(Please note, admission to the SS Great Britain is not included with this event ticket.)
