🍪 Children will start the evening doing some Christmas crafts- decorating their own gingerbread biscuit to take home and making magical reindeer food for them to sprinkle on Christmas Eve (wildlife friendly we hasten to add!)
🎅 Then it’s time to gather round with the big man himself, whilst he tells the children all about what he and the elves have been up to at the North Pole and finishes by reading a lovely Christmas story.
📸 There will be photo opportunities to snap a picture of your child with Santa.
🎁 Upon leaving they will receive an age appropriate gift that will be personally labelled for them along with the biscuit and reindeer food they made earlier.

☕️ Please note- The bar will be open to purchase drinks and cakes upon arrival but use of the coffee machine & blender will be paused whilst the children are in with Father Christmas due to the noise they create, once the meeting with Santa portion of the experience is over the bar will once again reopen.

St Albans legend, BOB GOLDING, IS BACK! And he’s joining everyone’s favourite, IAN KIRKBY, to play the Wicked (but very funny) Step Sisters!
With a star-studded cast to be announced, this spectacular show will be written by Paul Hendy and produced by the award winning Evolution Productions, the same team behind 2022’s smash hit, Jack and the Beanstalk, and this year’s brilliant The All New Adventures of Peter Pan, A Pantomime Sequel!
It’s never too early to book, and with lavish sets, hilarious jokes and fun for the whole family, what’s not to love? So don’t be late for the ball… get your tickets now!
