Experience the most magical Santa's Grotto in Yorkshire!
Start your journey to meet Father Christmas by making your way through our magical North Pole village, where you'll explore whimsical interactive play and encounter Santa's jolly elves!
Then, take a ride in our enchanted elevator, which will transport you (via magic!) to Santa's cosy log cabin.
Here, you'll be greeted by Mrs Claus before heading into the Grotto to meet Santa himself! Snap a photo, collect a gift and create special family memories.
Wander through our sparkling Winter Illuminations
Experience a spectacular Christmas light show with your loved ones in our Enchanted Forest. At dusk, our ancient woodland is illuminated by dazzling installations, projections and sculptures, complete with magical animations and soundscapes.
Venture through our mile-long Christmas light trail, which is complete with four outdoor playgrounds and stops to warm up with a hot chocolate en route.
Our Winter Illuminations make a brilliant festive activity for everyone - bring along the whole family, a group of friends or make it a romantic date night.
Take a spin on our covered Ice Rink
No festive day out is complete without a spin on the ice! Get your skates on and glide (or wobble) your way around our covered ice rink.
Whether you're challenging loved ones to a race, or watching from the cosy Woodland Cafe, this is a Christmas activity that the whole family can enjoy.
Get into the Christmas spirit at our Christmas Theatre Show!
Produced by Talegate theatre, this jolly panto features sing-along music, magic tricks and a cast of colourful characters. Get ready to shout “He’s behind you!” again and again!
