A fantastic review from last years event 👇
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We visited yesterday for the Santa experience & it was fantastic, 5 stars without a doubt. Kids loved the activities, making decorations, decorating a stocking, giant snakes & ladders, the Grinch & last but by no means least, the man himself, Santa. The boys said he was the real Santa cos he had a real beard & knew stuff about them that they had sent in their letters.
Great social distancing & Covid precautions in place.
The boys can’t wait to go back again, no better recommendation! – Therese
