Santa Arrives at Paradise Wildlife Park

Broxbourne, Hertfordshire

See Santa arrive in his beautiful carriage pulled by his white horses on Saturday 26th November at 10:30am (sharp). Santa will open our Christmas Craft Fayre at 11am before taking pride of place in his magical grotto. Be greeted by reindeer and then step inside Santa’s grotto, meet the man himself and take home a special gift. After your visit explore Paradise and enjoy a hot drink in our seasonally decorated restaurant or cafe.

Fancy a spot of Christmas shopping? Join us exclusively on the 26th November and as we celebrate Santa’s arrival at our craft fayre, you can browse our festive stalls and purchase some lovely Christmas gifts! Entry included in general ticket price.

You can visit Santa every weekend from the 26th November and every day from the 17th December until Christmas Eve. We are very lucky here at Paradise as Santa is sparing two one-hour slots each day and in between this he is checking his Naughty or Nice list or making sure our reindeers are ready to fly this Christmas Eve.

Bird and Deer Park

The Bird Park at Prinknash has been listed by Huffington Post in 2015 as one of the Top 3 Attractions to visit Christmas lights in the UK, as well as The Sunday Telegraph nominating us in the Top 10 Rural Attractions to visit in the UK for Christmas in 2013.

What more could you ask for other than artistry and a stunning setting?

Stephenson Railway Museum

North Shields, Tyne and Wear

Melt into the magic of Christmas and make memories with your loved ones on a unique festive heritage train ride to meet Santa Claus and his guests.

You’ll be entertained during your visit by our costumed entertainers and Victorian musicians who will be making merry with joy, music and celebration. Your visit will begin with a four mile heritage train ride along our restored urban railway. Santa will then make a special visit to the train, giving out gifts to all those lucky children on board.

Once you step off the train, head back into our warm and welcoming museum to receive your complimentary drinks and sweet treats! Don’t forget to stop by the museum during your visit, take part in the Children’s Christmas craft, see if you can find all of the mischievous elves and of course there are lots of engines to see inside as well.
