The Santa Claus Experience
Visitors embark on a guided group tour beginning at Passport Control and journeying through festive displays with Santa's elves. Guests watch an elf stage show, visit Mother Christmas in her kitchen to decorate a gingerbread person, and help Santa down the chimney. Families then meet Santa Claus in his grotto and visit the Teddy Bear Market, where children craft their own cuddly bear to take home.

Tips & Advice
- Book online ahead of your visit, because the Santa Claus Experience is pre-book only and only pre-booked guests can see Santa.
- Bring a card or phone to pay with, since the site is cashless and does not accept coins or bank notes.
- Add Flexi Ticket Insurance if your plans might change, since it lets you move or fully cancel with 72 hours' notice.
- Allow about 90 minutes for the tour, and don't plan on seeing the animals, because the farm park is closed during the event.
- Leave room in your bag for the way home, as children take their decorated gingerbread person and their own homemade teddy bear with them.
