The Snowman™ at Sheffield Park and Garden this Christmas
The Snowman™ is coming to Sheffield Park and Garden for the first time this Christmas
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Families are invited on a festive walk, re-living the magic of Raymond Briggs’ heart-warming picture book. Look out for twelve decorated sculptures of The Snowman™, along a winding wintry path, past beautiful lakes and trees. Games and activities add to the festive fun, then warm up with hot chocolate and mince pies in the cafe.

Walking with The Snowman™ at Sheffield Park and Garden is presented by National Trust and Wild in Art in collaboration with Penguin Ventures (part of Penguin Random House UK).
