Tips & Advice
- Book your Father Christmas slot ahead, since tickets cannot be moved to another date or refunded unless Quarry Bank closes.
- National Trust members still need to buy a ticket for the Father Christmas visit, so book alongside non-member friends.
- Make a full day of it with the Enchanted Winter Walk, where children's tickets include reindeer food and a child-sized hot drink.
- If your child would do better with fewer people and no music, book one of the Quiet Visit sessions instead.
- Stop by the Mill Yard Shop for Quarry Bank's exclusive festive print cotton fabric, sold only there.
