With twinkling lights, festive decorations and Christmas magic around every corner, the excitement builds as you get closer to Santa…

MEET SANTA

And then… the moment you’ve been waiting for! Step inside Santa’s cosy grotto and meet Santa Claus himself. Tell him your Christmas wishes, soak up the magic and make a special family memory that you’ll treasure for years to come. And, of course, Santa has a special Christmas surprise for every child!

DISCOVER THE CHRISTMAS WOODLAND VILLAGE

Welcome to our magical Christmas Woodland Village, where festive adventures and Christmas surprises await around every corner.

  • – Visit the Polar Post Office and write your very own postcard to Santa.
  • – Explore the Gingerbread Factory and discover a world of gingerbread magic.
  • – Unlock Santa’s Toy Shop with your Magic Key and let every child choose their very own special Christmas gift.
  • – Pop into Mrs Claus’s Sweet Shoppe for some traditional Christmas treats.
  • – Make a Christmas wish at our spectacular Wishing Tree.
  • – Make magical reindeer food to take home and sprinkle out on Christmas Eve.
  • – Meet our festive animal friends, including our rabbits, guinea pigs and not-so-little resident donkeys in the Christmas Nativity.

And when you need to warm up, settle down beside the fires with a hot chocolate, mince pie or mulled wine and soak up the Christmas atmosphere. Don’t forget to keep your Christmas passport handy — there are stamps to discover throughout the village!

MORE THAN A VISIT TO SANTA…

From boarding the Magical Sleigh and journeying through the trees, to meeting Santa and exploring our enchanting Christmas Woodland Village, Piglets Magical Sleigh Rides is a whole Christmas adventure.
