About this event
Children can visit Father Christmas in his grotto by the lakes this December.
All children will have a chance to talk to Father Christmas, have their photo taken (please bring your own camera, photographer not provided) and will receive a wildlife-themed gift. One family ticket is available for each time slot. This admits 1 child with up to two accompanying adults, you will not share your timeslot with any other families. If you wish to bring an additional child/children, please purchase the required number of 'additional child' tickets alongside your family ticket. Due to the size of the hide we cannot admit additional adults. Late arrivals may not be admitted.
The time on your ticket is the time you should arrive at the Raised Pond to walk down to the grotto.
Suitable for children aged 0-11 years. Older siblings are welcome to attend but will not receive a gift. Please specify child's age when booking to ensure an appropriate gift is provided.
Please be aware that each family will have approximately 10 minutes with Father Christmas, regardless of the number of children you bring, so if you are a large group, you may wish to consider purchasing tickets for more than one time slot.
There will also be fun Christmas-themed nature crafts after your visit!
Father Christmas will be visiting over 2 days.
