About the 2023 Father Christmas experience
Father Christmas and his team of industrious Elves have spent many years researching the science of giving and have made some incredible discoveries, which they're longing to share with you. This includes some extraordinary revelations about the magic of plants and their amazing abilities.
You're invited to step into their enchanting log cabin inside our Dome tent for an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at where the Christmas magic happens.
What to expect
As part of this unforgettable 40 minute experience, each child will be given the chance to meet Father Christmas and leave with a gift they can grow for many years to come.
The Father Christmas experience takes place on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays on 1-3 and 8-10 December, and then runs daily from 14-24 December. Please note, the experience will take place in the Dome tent in the Arena.
Limited spaces available. Book now to avoid disappointment.
Relaxed Sessions
We are offering relaxed sessions for those who’d benefit from an environment with fewer people, and more chance to explore at your own pace. Relaxed sessions are open to all but are designed with those with autism, sensory or communication needs in mind.
Relaxed sessions take place on 2 Dec at 10am, 3 Dec at 11am, 9 Dec at 11am, 14 Dec at 3pm, 16 Dec at 10am, 20 Dec at 11am and 23 Dec at 3pm.
