New for Christmas 2017
Santa is taking up residence in the cosy Boathouse Grotto.
In addition to our popular sold out Father Christmas events in the House, we’ve persuaded the big man himself and one of his cheeky elves to see even more children than we’d originally planned. Due to huge demand we are creating an extra opportunity for children and young people to visit Santa in his magical lakeside grotto, down by the Adventure Playground.
Book a timed slot when you arrive at the Ticket Office, hop on the Christmas Express that runs between the Courtyard and the Boathouse, enjoy some elf entertainment and perhaps a hot chocolate and a festive treat from the cafe whilst you wait. Make sure you have your Christmas wishes and cameras at the ready when you enter Santa’s magical grotto!
All children can choose a small gift from Santa’s workshop store at the grotto as they leave.

Families with a ticket to the House and Grounds can enjoy exploring Angels on High, this year’s festive installations in the House. Pick up a cherub spotters trail card on your way in and find the twelve cheeky cherubs hidden around the house. In the High South rooms you’ll discover Father Christmas’ garden, where children can explore a magical winter wonderland including interactive elf huts. Lots aimed at Children and young people as part of the 2017 Christmas experience.
