Full Description
On arrival, guests will be greeted by Santa’s elves who will serve them mulled wine, hot chocolate and mince pies in the Wyld Woods. Children and grownups can climb into Santa’s sleigh and take their own festive Sleigh photographs before being led through the garden gate to join in with our festive immersive theatre event.
First, it’s a visit to The No 1 Elf Radio Station’s Yurt where we will be doing some karaoke Christmas singing with our musical Elves. Live music and open mic and a vote for the most popular Christmas song this year.
Then it’s a complimentary ticket to enter our Vintage cinema where you will be given your own bag of popcorn and watch our original Whippersnappers Christmas silent movie called “4 Minutes to Go”. Enjoy a sneaky preview of what has been going on behind the scenes before we opened our Winter wonderland event 2022.
Next an invitation to visit Mrs Claus’s kitchen where the children will decorate Traditional Gingerbread Christmas Tree decorations and spend some quality time with Mrs Claus and Snow shine the wise elf.
Following Santa’s Sooty Footsteps upstairs to the Wonderland Waiting Room, the children meet Starfrost our Christmas Tree Fairy who gets busy painting faces with her fairy dust. Children write or draw a Christmas Wish for Santa to hang on his tree, build a ‘snowman’ and play a few Victorian pantry games. Santa’s Elf will ring his bell to call each child and their family into Santa’s Grotto to meet the man himself. Meeting the big man in red the children hang their Christmas Wishes on his tree, and with special Santa words of wisdom receive a magical personalised present.
Then it’s downstairs to our Christmas toy shop clutching Santa’s present to pick up the children’s Gingerbread Christmas tree decorations they decorated with Mrs Claus.
