Father Christmas at Sunnycroft | 5-14 December
Step inside Sunnycroft for a spellbinding Christmas journey where pantos collide, and Father Christmas is waiting just for you. Availability Dates: 5-14 December 2025
- Booking essential
This 25-minute festive adventure turns Sunnycroft into your own private stage for a Christmas panto mash-up. Armed with Jack’s magic beans, you’ll journey through the house to follow Jack and the Beanstalk, but in true panto style, a few wrong turns could land you in all sorts of other stories. Keep your eyes peeled for a slipper left “behind you,” a mischievous genie ready to grant wishes, or a giant who’s “stomping around the house.” Each twist and turn is packed with panto laughs, surprises, and a few cheeky “Oh no, he didn’t!” moments.
Meeting Father Christmas is the perfect finale to your Sunnycroft adventure. Step into his festive world, share your Christmas wishes, and enjoy a moment of wonder together. And if you happen to bring along Jack’s magic beans, who knows? Father Christmas might have a plan for them.

Sunnycroft house is a small historic house and has three steps up to each doorway to enter or exit this event. This event is regrettably unsuitable for wheelchair or buggy access.

Seating is available if required around the house and when visiting with Father Christmas.
- Other
Father Christmas tickets cost £20 per child and £5 per accompanying adult/person. Please select the appropriate ticket for the number of children and accompanying people. The max. group size is six people (adults or children) due to the size of the house. Please be aware that there are no refreshments available at Sunnycroft. Please arrive no more than 10-15 minutes before your time slot as parking at Sunnycroft is limited, and entry to the house is by time slot only. If you expect to need to use the toilet facilities before entry to the house or pay for additional tickets, please account for this extra time between arrival and the start of your time slot. On arrival, you will be greeted by our welcome team and guided to the front of the house. The house is 150 yards from the car park. Your visit should last around 20 - 30 minutes from arrival to leaving the Sunnycroft site. There is no catering available at Sunnycroft. We recommend making a day of it by also visiting Attingham: it’s a 15-20 min drive. If visiting Attingham, entry to the Mansion is by pre-booked timed entry tickets.
