Breakfast with the Elves is Back!

Add a sprinkle of festive magic to your Christmas countdown with a special breakfast at the View Café.

  • Booking essential

Gather the family and settle in for a delicious breakfast while little ones meet our merry Christmas elves and enjoy a fun festive activity sheet.

Surrounded by breath taking winter views from Bedfordshire's highest point, it's the perfect way to start a magical day out on the Downs.

Once everyone is feeling full of festive cheer, wrap up warm and set off on our family trail to search for Santa's missing reindeer. Or if you fancy staying cosy inside, why not write and decorate a letter to Santa and post it in our special post box while you're here? (Visit our events page for details.)
