Storytime with Father Christmas for Toddlers at Clumber Park
Step into a cosy, storybook moment made just for little ones. Tucked inside the historic Parsonage, our extra‑special Father Christmas visit is designed for toddlers and babies — soft, gentle, and full of festive wonder.
- Booking essential
Greeted by Father Christmas’s friendly helpers, your child will explore a snug Winter Wonderland grotto and play with age‑appropriate toys before being led into Father Christmas’s warm sitting room. Snuggle up by the fire for storytime, join in with nursery rhymes and songs, and listen to Father Christmas’s favourite tale of Peter Rabbit. After storytime each child receives a Peter Rabbit book and there’s time for a treasured photograph with Father Christmas while our guides help every step of the way. Wave goodbye to Father Christmas and follow the magic to the Elves’ workshop, where you can wrap up warm before heading back out into the park. Perfect for tiny explorers and first‑time meetings with Father Christmas, this gentle, memorable visit creates keepsakes and cosy moments the whole family will treasure. Book early to secure your place.
