About This Event

This year at Gibside Stables, we bring you a brand new festive story for children and families to enjoy. ••• Across the 11 event dates there are 7 sessions to choose from, including a relaxed timeslot at 10:35am–11:10am. Relaxed sessions offer a low‑sensory environment, designed for families with SEND and younger children ••• Meet Happy Holly Berry, a playful forest elf with a twinkle in her eye. She’ll greet you at Gibside Stables and guide you to her very special friend, Father Christmas. Gather close for a festive tale as Father Christmas shares a heart‑warming story filled with merry cheer and North Pole magic. This interactive in‑character storytelling invites children to join the fun during a cosy 20‑minute experience. The final 10 minutes include each child receiving a small gift to take home, along with time for grown‑ups to capture their own photo with Father Christmas. Professional photography is not provided.
