Additionally, families can come and visit Santa in his beautiful, wintery wonderland and join onto one of many Storytelling with Santa sessions running throughout the day from 11-23 December. Join Santa for a special Christmas story, followed by both a festive photo with Father Christmas and a gift with every child’s ticket. Organised for all ages, the 10.15am slot will be a SEN session suitable for neurodivergent audiences.
