🎅 School & Groups — Term Time Father Christmas Experience

New for Christmas 2025!

During term-time weekdays, schools and groups are invited to enjoy a magical festive adventure at Attwell Farm Park — combining all the fun of the farm with a personal visit to Father Christmas himself!

Your journey begins at Candy Cane Customs, before making your way to Father Christmas’s Grotto, where festive lights twinkle and Christmas cheer fills the air.

At the door, you’ll be warmly welcomed by Santa’s Head Elf, who will let Father Christmas know your group has safely arrived.

When it’s your group’s turn, one of Santa’s trusted elves will guide up to five children at a time through for a special meeting with Father Christmas himself.

If you’ve made the Nice List this year, Father Christmas will present each child with a special Santa Coin, granting access to his personal Toy Workshop, where they can choose their very own Christmas gift to take home.

Before or after your visit (depending on your scheduled time), your school or group can enjoy exploring the farm park — meeting the animals in their cosy winter homes and playing across our indoor and outdoor play areas, all included in your visit.

🎓 One free educational adult per 5 paying children.

I visited Christmas at the Farm Park today with my daughter, son-in-law and 11 month old granddaughter and had an amazing time. It is definitely the best Christmas event in the area. The staff were so friendly and such a lot of thought had been given to the layout of the Christmas barn and there were a lot of activities for the children and adults to take part in. The visit to Santa was extremely well organised with a kind, realistic Santa and ended with a lovely gift at the end. We had a wonderful time and we will definitely be going again next year.

Christmas at Attwell is beautiful! Our boy has additional needs and is non verbal. I’ve never felt so welcomed and included when visiting Father Christmas! He was fantastic with my son asking for high fives and not expecting him to use any words. He was patient and kind with him. The present room was also superb! A brilliant Father Christmas from looks to his attitude. Thank you for making the whole families trip to Attwell beautiful!

We've had the most amazing Christmas day out at Attwell Farm Park. We couldn't fault anything, well organised, friendly staff and so much to see and do. The elf experience was super but the icing on the cake was the red ticket visit to see Santa. We can honestly say he's the best Santa we've ever seen. He was attentive and interactive and he made our day. Thank you Attwell Farm

Second year visiting for Christmas and we loved it! The winter barn was brilliant, the decor/staging was beautiful and the elves really friendly. Seeing santa was a great experience, lovely setting, not rushed and very attentive to the children. We would definitely recommend.

Really lovely time at Attwell Farm Park Santa Experience. It was our first trip here and we were no disappointed. Firstly the staff are outstanding, they are super lovely, they are inclusive and they really want your child to have a nice time.

Fabulous Christmassy family day out. Lovely children's farm. My grandchildren had the best day seeing all the animals, playing on the soft play, visiting lovely Santa - so good with the children - and taking part in the activities in the workshop, which was wonderful. Beautifully decorated.
