Tips & Advice

  • Use the hour and a half before the show to visit Mrs Claus in the Roundhouse, do the Elf Treasure Hunt and stop at the café.
  • Bring your phone or camera, because you can take your own photos with Santa after the show.
  • Dress for the weather, because the Elf Treasure Hunt goes through the Celtic Gardens and the event only cancels in extreme weather.
  • Members should phone ahead for the discount code and bring a membership card that is valid on the event date.
  • Check your date and arrival time before you pay, because tickets can't be moved to another date and are non-refundable unless the event is cancelled.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the visit?

The visit lasts two and a half hours. You get hot apple punch or hot chocolate on arrival, Mrs Claus's stories in the thatched Roundhouse and the Elf Treasure Hunt through the Celtic Gardens. There are also games, arts and crafts and the Christmas Wishing Tree in the Marquee, and the musical show with Santa and Elfeena in the Hazel Room.

Do children get individual presents?

No. Instead, Santa gives each family a special candle to light on Christmas Eve.

Can we take photos with Santa?

Yes, you can take your own photos with Santa after the show.

How does the arrival time work?

Your ticket time is your arrival time. The show starts an hour and a half later, which leaves time to visit Mrs Claus, try the other activities and stop at the café.

What happens if the weather is bad?

It goes ahead unless the weather is extreme. If it's cancelled, you get back the face value of your ticket but not the booking fee.
