  • Booking essential
  • Admission applies

An extra special Father Christmas experience for toddlers and babies. Located in the historic Parsonage.

Greeted by Father Christmas’ friendly helpers your little one can play with the toys in the grotto before going to meet Father Christmas in his cosy sitting room. Here they will spend time snuggled up in front of the fire, listening to some of Father Christmas’s favourite stories and join in with the nursery rhymes and songs.

After storytime Father Christmas will present each child with a magical coin and there will be time to capture a special photograph. Our lovely guides are on hand to help.

You say goodbye to Father Christmas and make your way, magical coin in hand to our Elves Toyshop to choose a gift to take home.
