Our Festive Fun weekends were very popular last year so make sure you book early and don’t miss out.

Children can expect a 15-minute interactive meeting with Mr and Mrs Claus in our winter woodland Grotto. Each child will receive a present from Santa, a sweet treat and opportunities for photographs. You can also write a letter to Santa.

On the day activities:
Santa’s Grotto visit with Mr and Mrs Claus (including present, selection box and photo)
Letter writing to Santa

Children’s tickets are priced at £15. Children under 1 years old go free but won’t receive a present from Santa. Adults don’t need a ticket to accompany children on the above Santa’s Grotto package.
