Christmas

Workshop & Grotto Experience

Back this year, as it proved so popular with the little ones last year. Our Christmas workshop and grotto experience consists of an hour spent decorating gingerbread Christmas Trees, making a Christmas decoration and writing a letter to Santa, all with the help of one of wonderful Santa’s Elves. The children then get to go and see Santa and Mrs Claus in Santa’s Grotto to receive a present and to have some time chatting about what Christmas might bring this year.

Breakfast with Santa

Enjoy our delicious breakfast with Santa, back by popular demand. This experience includes a buffet breakfast and time with Santa all in our cosy lakeside cafe setting. All children will get quality time with Santa and a selection box while parents enjoy the food and relaxing setting.
