Santa's Enchanted Elf Journey
Visitors ride a tractor trailer to the Enchanted Woodland to meet Santa in his cabin and help feed real reindeer. Children can complete challenges in their Elf in Training passport, stuff a character teddy at the Cuddle Factory, and decorate festive gingerbread biscuits. The event also includes interactive stage shows, an illuminated Winter Wonderland walkway, soft play, and animal cuddling across the farm park.

Tips & Advice
- Get to elf check-in at least 15 minutes before your tractor slot, because you won't get a refund if you miss your Santa visit by arriving late.
- Dress children in hats, gloves, winter coats and layers with sensible footwear, because the day runs indoors and outdoors and there may be mud and puddles.
- Make sure every trainee elf has written a letter to Santa and posted it at the farm post office before heading to the Enchanted Woodland.
- Bring a birth certificate if you booked an under-2 ticket, because you may be asked for proof of age and would otherwise pay to upgrade.
- Arrive early and give yourself the whole day, because children need to collect all 12 stamps in their Elf in Training passport and the activities take time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is Santa's Enchanted Elf Journey best for?
It's aimed at children aged 2 and over. The under-2 ticket includes the same activities and gifts as the child ticket. Babes-in-arms tickets are for accompanying siblings only and don't include activities or gifts. A believer over 16 should be booked on a child ticket.
What does each child take home?
Each child builds their own character bear and gets a golden ticket to choose a gift from the elves' toyshop. They also get a letter from Santa, magic hay to leave out on Christmas Eve and a gingerbread biscuit to decorate.
How long should we plan to stay?
Plan on the full day. There's no time limit, so you can stay for up to 7 hours. The only timed part is your tractor ride to see Santa. Elf School and the interactive show each run four times a day, and the Cuddle Factory, Winter Wonderland and biscuit decorating are open all day. Arriving after school won't leave enough time for everything.
Is the event accessible for wheelchair users?
Yes. The tractor ride and Santa's hut are both wheelchair accessible. There are three sensory rooms to use as calm spaces, several disabled toilets and a Changing Places toilet. If someone in your group uses a wheelchair, email the farm before your visit.
Can a big group go in to see Santa together?
Everyone on one booking goes in to see Santa together, with no exceptions. If your families want separate visits, book each one separately.
