WHAT TO EXPECT

On arrival, you’ll be welcomed into the Christmas marquee by our friendly elves, who will offer a festive hot drink and a little treat. A quick walk to the main entrance and the journey begins.

Hop onto The Jungle Express and get transported through the magical forest, with the good company of Buddy The Elf. Buddy loves singing, telling stories and being a bit of a rascal!

Next stop is Santa’s Workshop, where our helpful elves will greet you with a smile on arrival.

Enjoy some old fashioned board games, watch some Christmassy movies and get ready to meet the big man….

Santa’s calling! Get your own private meet and greet with Santa Claus, see what gifts he’s brought and take a quick pose for your Christmas Wonderland photo, to take home.

Jump back on the fun filled Jungle Express and journey back through the forest to return to the rest of the Christmas Wonderland experience.

All around the main reception barn, lays all kinds of festive fun. Stop in with Mrs Claus for an intimate story time session, cuddle some furry friends in the Woodland Farm, warm up with some tasty toasted marshmallows in the cosy marshmallow nooks and even create some mementos with a bit of festive arts and crafts.

Take part in some exciting adventure favourites such as Archery, Bungee Trampoline, Climbing Wall, Rodeo Reindeer or Paintball Target Range.

Roll up and gather round the Christmas Wonderland stage, to dance and sing your hearts out to some Christmas favourites, brought to life by our very own troop of performers.

Round off the day with a bite to eat in The Lazy Llama takeout restaurant, who serve up burgers, hotdogs, wings, loaded fries, specials and ice creams.

The Little Llama cafe in the Big Barn will keep you refreshed with hot and cold drinks, snacks and delicious baked goods.

Look out for the other little extras, such as the Reindeer Food making station, the woodland animal pens, unique photo opportunities, dinky doughnuts and crepes truck, and Christmas craft stalls.
