Step into a world of magic and wonder as you enter Mother Shipton's magical Christmas experience. Get ready, for Santa is flying through the starry skies to meet you!


🎅🏽 Enjoy a personal family visit with Santa in his cosy Christmas grotto and receive a special, luxurious soft toy gift from Santa.


🛷 Pose for a photo inside Santa's magic sleigh, before he journeys through snow-covered lands and starlit skies on Christmas Eve night.


📖 Gather around Holly Berry, the enchanting storyteller, as she weaves tales of wonder and merriment. Settle upon the reindeer chairs nestled within her charming tipi, adorned with lights that shimmer like angel wings.


🦌 Collect your very own bag of reindeer food, a magical blend that you'll sprinkle outside on Christmas Eve to guide Santa's reindeer to your home.


📮 In the heart of this mystical place, find the Snowy Owl Sorting Office and send your heartfelt wishes to Santa himself by owl mail. Stamp, seal, and imagine your letter soaring through the night sky.


🎄 Hang your handwritten wish upon the Christmas wishing trees, with branches carrying the hopes and dreams of all who visit.


🔮 Venture into the depths of the woodland and discover the cave, the legendary Petrifying Well, and the Wishing Well (subject to weather conditions).


Optional purchases:


☕️ Warm up with a deluxe hot chocolate as you snuggle in cozy log gazebos or our heated eating tipi, surrounded by the soft glow of fairy lights.


🔥Toast festive marshmallows by the crackling Christmas fire.


✨ Let the magic of the Christmas Shop enchant you, a treasure trove of wonder where you can find the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one.


From the moment you step into this enchanted land, Santa's cheerful elves will welcome you with open arms. Every child with a Santa Experience Ticket will receive a pack of festive activities, a magical ticket to unlocking the wonders that await.


As you wander through the winter woodland, the Christmas Village awaits. Gaze upon the merry displays and festive delights.


And who could forget Chief Elf Chestnut, the embodiment of excitement and joy? They will lead you to the highlight of your journey—a special visit to Santa himself! Step into Santa’s cozy grotto, where time stands still as you create memories that will warm your heart for years to come.


As you leave, don't forget to enjoy the delicious treats, like hot chocolate, gingerbread biscuits, toasted marshmallows and mince pies, snuggle in cozy log gazebos or our heated eating tipi, surrounded by the soft glow of fairy lights.


Deeper into the woodland, discover the wonders of the Petrifying Well, the Cave, and the Wishing Well, where wishes take flight like twinkling stars.


So come to Mother Shipton's realm of magic and joy this Christmas, one of the ‘Best Christmas grottos to visit in the UK’.


There are two options for those wishing to visit Mother Shipton’s Christmas event.


The first is our Magical Christmas Experience, this is aimed at children aged 0-12 years and their families.


To visit the Magical Christmas Experience, visitors are required to purchase a Christmas Park Admission Ticket (admits up to 5 people) and a Santa Experience Ticket for each child wishing to see Santa and receive a festive activity pack.


The second option is a Winter Woodland Walk, this is aimed primarily at adults and older children who wish to explore the park during the festive period, without a visit to Santa.


Please note that we cannot allow dogs into the attraction during this time due to the unique set up of our Christmas event.


Tickets for Christmas at Mother Shipton’s can be purchased ONLINE ONLY for selected dates through November and December.


Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances.


The adventure playground will not be open during the Christmas event.
