The Great Museum Santa Search

Search the displays at Canterbury Museum and count the number of Santas you see for the chance to win a fantastic prize.

The annual family favourite returns!

There are between 10 and 20 Santas hiding all over Canterbury Museum.

Search the displays and count the number of Santas you see for the chance to win a fantastic prize from the Museum Store.

To get started, pick up an entry form from the foyer. It will have some clues and a guide to keep track of how many Santas you’ve seen.

The Museum Santas are part of a collection that belonged to the late Laurie King. He was well known locally as King Santa, and he and his miniature Santas brought fun and laughter into kids’ lives for almost 56 years.

The Great Museum Santa Search has been an annual tradition for more than a decade.

The competition takes place from 5 December 2020 to 10 January 2021 and is open to children aged 15 years and under.
