Join the Elves to make a Christmas craft, then step into the enchanting glow of Fen Cottage, where twinkling lights, festive wonder and Father Christmas himself await. Every child will receive a special present.
Our Elf Workshop was a smash hit in 2025 and will be returning this year with even more board games and activities, as well Elf dressing-up costumes for children. Don’t miss this opportunity to grab a bit of ‘family time’ and make the most of a festive photo opportunity.
This event is very popular and always sells out quickly. Tickets are £15.25 per child. Members are asked to bring their cards for scanning, but there are no additional admission charges for non-members who are visiting Father Christmas.
While you are here, why not wrap up warm and head outdoors to experience our Winter Trail? The trail will be in the Woodland Walk, so normal admission charges apply for non-members. Access to the Winter Trail may be suspended if routes are closed due to frosty weather.
