Our traditional Father Christmas, Mother Christmas and their woodland elves will be at the Rock Houses on the weekends of 30th November and 1 December, 7th and 8th December and 14th and 15th December.
Children will get the opportunity to visit Father Christmas in his Rock House grotto. Children can have a chat with him, receive a gift and have their photo taken. Once they have visited Father Christmas they can make magic reindeer food, make a wish for the world and create a natural bird feeder to take home.

For those children who need to visit at a quieter time or need extra time please see our Quiet Visits with Father Christmas event and book tickets there.

All children will receive a small gift from Father Christmas. Christmas craft activities will also be available. Help us make some reindeer food and leave it out for Rudolph and friends to enjoy on Christmas Eve.
The tearoom will also be open for delicious seasonal treats.
