Tips & Advice
- Get to the House a little early, because the session starts promptly and the walk from the car park takes about 15 minutes.
- Bring a camera, because even though it's a group experience there's time for individual photos with Father Christmas.
- If you're coming with friends, book the same session and email Wallington so staff can group you together.
- Make sure everyone attending has a ticket, because room capacity is limited and only under-2s who aren't taking part come without one.
- Families who need a calmer visit can book the separate Quiet experience, which is set up for children with additional needs.
Special Events & Promotions
- A Quiet experience for visitors with additional needs, booked separately.
