A wondrous journey awaits you, but before you can embark on your enchanted adventure, you’ll need to be granted special access to the North Pole! Don’t worry, our expert Elves in Passport Control will make sure all your papers are in order and send you on your way.
First stop, the Elf Academy! Here you have a once in a lifetime chance be inducted as an honorary Elf! Yes, you can learn the spells that could land you a spot on Fathers Christmas’ team…that’s as long as those mischievous Elves can remember how they go!

Brrrrr, it just got really chilly, could snow be on it’s way? Let’s find out as we step into the Snow Show, filled with a flurry of surprises.
Your tummies are probably starting to rumble now, especially with that yummy smell filling the air, where’s it coming from? Ah Mother Christmas’ kitchen! I wonder what she’s got in the oven today? I’m sure she’ll share her sweet treats to keep you fuelled up for the rest of the adventure.
We have gone cashless
Sorry we will not be accepting coins or bank notes on site. We accept all major credit cards and contactless payments.
Now sit tight and listen carefully for your name….it’s time to see who is on the Naughty and Nice list at the Grotto. When it’s called you’ll get to meet Father Christmas himself and make sure he got your letter and is ready for the big day.
The magic doesn’t end here! Next you’ll visit The Teddy Bear Market where you can choose and make your very own fury friend to take home with you.
But before we head back to the farm, your visit to the North Pole wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the Elf Emporium for a gift in exchange for your Magical Snowy (that’s Elf money!)
Safely back on the farm, you can still stick around to enjoy our festive rides, meet the animals, indulge in treats from our special Yuletide menu and even have a go at ice skating!

some kind words
The kids absolutely loved it, the gifts and activities the whole way along were excellent and Santa knowing what the children were interested in and what they were looking for as a gift for Christmas was a lovey touch – the children were amazed. The build a bear resulted in a bear and two reindeer and the. The gift from the elf emporium was a lovely finish. There was so much to do we stayed the whole day and left in the dark and we still didn’t manage to do all that was on offer. A really great day out, kids worn out on Christmas Eve, no arguments and then well prepared for going to bed. Loved it.

We took our almost 5 year old to the Father Christmas experience and it was absolutely amazing. He loved every moment and so did we! It was basically a performance at each stage of the experience and the elves and everyone else were just brilliant and worked so hard to make it feel magical for everyone. When we very first arrived, “Trixie” came and sat on a bench with my son for a little while and just chatted and made him laugh and it really set the tone for the whole day.

This year, included with every Father Christmas Experience booking, you’ll also be able to experience our magical Ice Rink where you can glide and giggle round the rink.
The ice rink is operated as first come first serve, during popular times there will be timed sessions so that everyone can skate.
We visited the Father Christmas today at Marsh Farm. It was far the best Father Christmas experience I have visited over the years in the UK. Excellent value for money I would have paid a lot more for my ticket.

Just a message to say we went to your Father Christmas experience today and it was BRILLIANT! Really impressed with the set up, your staff were very helpful. He was so lovely. You guys were very generous with the teddy and gift also. I’m so glad we booked up to come to you for this. It really has set my 5 year old daughter up ready for Christmas.
