Christmas Adventure is coming!
4th Nov 2024
Christmas is coming early at Stockeld Park!
Now that Halloween is over, everyone at Stockeld Park is eagerly counting down to the most magical event of the year - the Christmas Adventure!
From November 16th, we’re reigniting the festive spirit with lots of merry activities you and your little ones will love. See below what’s happening during the Christmas season.
What's on during the Christmas Adventure 2024?
Santa's Arrival Weekend
We’re starting the festive season with a magical opening weekend on November 16th and 17th. Mr. and Mrs. Claus will make their grand arrival, touring around the adventure park to spread their Christmas cheer before retiring at their Grotto for a season of gift-giving.
As you head to Santa’s Grotto, you may bump into his magical companions - Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen will all be waiting! Watch as these real-life reindeer refuel and rest before their big journey on Christmas Eve.
Santa's Grotto Experience
After the big arrival weekend, you can find Santa keeping warm in his Grotto until Christmas Eve. Our team of elves have been hard at work making Father Christmas feel at home in his cosy log cabin.
When you arrive, you’ll venture down a street filled with interactive play and magnificent Christmas scenery that looks straight out of the North Pole. Mrs. Claus will invite you for a warm welcome before you meet Santa Claus with your wish list!
Santa's Grotto is included in Gold and Silver ticket packages, Santa's Grotto can be added as an upgrade to weekday tickets subject to availability.
Snowflake Maze
Wander through Yorkshire’s largest evergreen maze, lit with thousands of twinkling lights as dusk sets. Your kids will explore over two miles of magical paths, discovering hidden musical surprises and plenty of wrong turns that’ll put their problem-solving skills to the test.
Make sure you climb the castle tower to get your bearings if you can’t locate your friends!
Winter Illuminations
After dusk, the Enchanted Forest becomes a dazzling winter wonderland filled with animated installations and thousands of twinkling lights.
Our Winter Illuminations stretch over a mile long, with different paths leading to a new adventure. Bring your whole family or come for a romantic date as you experience Yorkshire’s most beautiful winter light show.
Ice Skating
Glide across our covered ice skating rink. You'll be protected from the elements, so you can skate no matter the weather. You may feel like Bambi on ice when you first get on, but with plenty of practice, you’ll become a pro! Read our beginner ice skating tips to feel more confident on the day.
