Father Christmas Visits at Godstone Farm

Visitors take a festive journey filled with twinkling lights to meet Father Christmas in his cosy grotto, where each child selects a quality gift from the workshop. Families can make a holiday wish in the Wish Room, enjoy Jingle & Jangle’s interactive Christmas show, decorate cookies with the elves, and take part in crafts and a festive trail. Daytime admission also provides full access to explore the farm park animals and Surrey’s largest indoor soft play barn.

Tips & Advice

  • Peak dates fill up fast and are booked well in advance every year, so book as early as you can to get your date.
  • Look at the November dates on the booking calendar if December is full, because those visits start the season with the same experience.
  • Choose a daytime ticket if you want the show, cookie decorating and a full day in the farm park and soft play barn.
  • Wear sensible shoes rather than heels or platforms, and bring boots if it's been wet, because you'll be walking around a working farm.
  • Bring some spending money for marshmallow toasting and the other seasonal treats, which aren't included in the ticket.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Reduced-price dusk visits after hours include the Wish Room, Toyshop and Father Christmas, with free entry for adults.
  • SEND Father Christmas visits run on the afternoons of 21 or 22 November and at dusk on 3 and 8 December, with calm, quiet sessions.
  • Carers go free on both daytime and dusk tickets.
  • Marshmallow toasting and other seasonal treats are on sale during your visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a daytime ticket?

A personal meeting with Father Christmas, a gift from his workshop, the Wish Room, Jingle & Jangle's interactive show, festive crafts, a festive trail with a prize, cookie decorating with the elves and photo spots. You also get full access to the farm park and Surrey's biggest soft play barn.

How is a dusk ticket different?

Dusk tickets are cheaper and run after hours when it's dark. Children still visit the Wish Room and Toyshop and meet Father Christmas. The festive show, cookie decorating and farm park entry aren't included, because the farm park has closed by then.

Are there visits for children with special educational needs?

Yes. SEND visits have soft lights, no loud music or sudden sounds, and elves who guide you gently through. Each booking is for one family with up to four children per slot. Photos of the experience are sent in advance so your child knows what to expect.

Who is it for?

It's for the whole family, from toddlers and 10-year-olds to parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. There are tickets for under-1s, 1-year-olds and children aged 2 to 15.

What should we wear?

Wear sensible footwear. Boots are only needed in wet weather, and high heels and platforms aren't recommended.
