About this event
Father Christmas Experience is part of the Christmas programme at Birchfield Farm, Summerbridge. Mother Christmas checks you in, then Buddy the Elf helps you board the sleigh for a private ride down to a woodland grotto, where you sit by the fire and tell Father Christmas your wishes.
What to expect:
- 16 booking days between 28 Nov and 23 Dec — not every day in that span is open
- Timed slots, one family per sleigh; start times vary by date (some from 10am, others noon or 2pm)
- Every paying child gets a gift and decorates a gingerbread biscuit to take home
- Christmas crafts, a letter for the giant post box, and reindeer food to make
- Tickets: Adult £13.00, Child £26.95. “Babies under 1 who are not receiving a gift from Father Christmas go free when booked with at least one paying child.”
- “Wrap up warm and dress for the weather, although we have under cover play areas and barns it can be chilly.”
