Important Information - How Group Sizes have changed this year.

Due to previous government guidelines surrounding events we have significantly reduced the group sizes that go though with each session (every 5 minutes) and we have kept it this way, should new restrictions be introduced this winter. A smaller group is actually quite lovely, in that the experience is now much more intimate and personal (and you get more one on one time with Santa!)

However, this means that there is only one booking per session at the moment, and we need to ensure that you have a magical experience the whole way through (not just with Santa) so the group sizes will be a minimum of 3 people and a maximum of 6 (Like last year). The experience is full of 'group participation' activities and that is why we have set the minimum of 3, it will be more fun for your child if you invite another friend or two, or a family member to join when booking (This is not a walk up and see Santa experience, you are going on an adventure! )

So when you decide to book - make sure you have considered who will be coming with you, and book as one group (as there is only one booking allowed per session at the moment)

The Event in more detail...

The Tapnell farm Christmas Experience starts at home with a little letter* from Smudge The Naughty Elf, who is writing to children inviting them to come and help him! ( And eventually, meet Santa!)

A new fantastical Christmas journey awaits children and their families this year. The 45-minute experience is lead by a team of trained elves who will fully immerse you in the wonderment of Christmas, there will be storytelling and interactive puzzles to solve, plus lots of amazing scenery too.

* The Letter can be downloaded and printed at home, via a link in the confirmation email. Letters are not personalised but can easily be written on and posted to children by an adult. We recommend holding off from reading/sending this out to your children as late as possible in case the government changes how we can operate.

The Tapnell Farm Christmas Experience is designed for children from 2 years to 100, as there is something for everyone. At the end of your adventure you will meet Santa himself, he knows a lot more about you than you think, and he can’t wait to meet you all and to thank you for helping out! We will ask for more details at the online checkout to help Santa surprise your kids!
