Woodland Father Christmas dressed in green handing out a present to a child.

Father Christmas at Standen

Follow the trail through the garden to visit Father Christmas in his woodland den. Excitement is building as Father Christmas has arrived at Standen to call on two of his festive helpers. But these sprites do not busy themselves with gift-making... For these are woodland elves and their festive duties are of an altogether different nature!  Join them on their adventure to find Father Christmas in his woodland abode, spreading Yuletide cheer and making sure that not no bending bough, bright-coloured berry or bustling beetle is untouched by a little spark of Christmas magic. Expect merry mirth-making, festive folk tales and, of course,  Father Christmas himself!
