Father Christmas at the Farm

Santa's Magical Farm Visit Returns for 2026!

  • Booking essential

Our sell-out Santa experience returns to the Farm in 2026, so be sure to secure your preferred date and timeslot before they disappear faster than Santa's mince pies on Christmas Eve!

Step into a farmyard full of festive family fun, with something for everyone to enjoy. Discover a beautiful nativity scene, soak up the sounds of live music, and meet festive entertainers before making your way across the farmyard, where Santa's cheerful elves will welcome you into Santa's cosy grotto.

Children can create their very own reindeer food in the historic Mill with a little help from the elves, then capture a magical memory with a selfie on Santa's sleigh. Don't forget to stop by our pop-up Christmas Café, serving a tempting selection of festive bakes, sweet treats and warming refreshments. Handy to know: You're welcome to enjoy the farm and all the festive activities at any time during opening hours. Simply make your way to the grotto at your allocated timeslot. All children and babies wishing to receive a gift from Santa will require a ticket Timeslots are every half an hour between 10:30am - 2:30pm

All children with a ticket will receive a special gift from Santa.
