Santa and Mrs Claus’ Christmas Parade

Welcome Santa and Mrs Claus as they step foot in their home for the festive season. Make sure to cheer and wave as they walk by!

Then, Santa and Mrs Claus will take a grand tour around the Enchanted Forest in their magical horse-drawn carriage! See little faces light up as they spot Father Christmas on his journey around the park.

Join us at 1pm on the forecourt to give them a warm festive welcome.

See real-life reindeer

Santa's magical reindeer will be resting in their large paddock during opening weekend, following their journey from Lapland!

See and take photos of these majestic creatures, but we respectfully ask that you do not touch them. Reindeers need personal space and don't like to be touched - particularly after a long journey from Lapland!
