Yes, of course.
This year your ticket includes a FREE framed and printed photo but should you wish to buy additional prints – which do make super Christmas presents for family members – you can.
Although children get a premium age appropriate gift from Father Christmas, the adults no matter how naughty or nice they’ve been this year do not. They are also not allowed to sit on Father Christmas’s knee 😉
Yes, any adult wishing to accompany a child (and there must be at least 1 adult) requires a ticket for this magical Christmas experience.
A. You can enter the park as soon as the main park opens from 10 am, where you can spend all day at Avon Valley enjoying both our festive and regular activities. We cannot stress enough that this is a full day’s experience which can be made up of multiple activities alongside the 60-minute immersive experience journeying to see Father Christmas.
The park is open to all ticket-holders and visitors from 10 am, where you can spend all day at Avon Valley enjoying both our festive and regular activities. The park closes at 5pm. Please note those ticket-holders booked for the 9 o’clock time slot will be able to access the site from 8.40am and will be able to make their way to the Chief Elf Station in the Enchanted Village for 9 am.
This is the time that you start your ‘Journey to the North Pole’ experience. Make sure you are in the Christmas Experience Entrance at least 10 minutes before this time. Unfortunately, failure to arrive in time for your allotted time will result in you losing your slot. We will, if possible, re-book your session but will only be able to accommodate this if we are not fully booked.
Any babe-in-arms accompanying a ticket-holding sibling does not need a ticket. However, should you be bringing a baby for their first special meeting with Father Christmas and wish for the child to receive a present and have a photo opportunity then this child/baby will require a ticket along with any accompanying adults. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate any pushchairs in the journey but we do have a buggy park.
Mistletoe and Evergreen are the 2 different groups within a timeslot. There is no difference to the experience, it’s just a nicer way of identifying ‘Group A’ and ‘Group B’! If you are booking individually as part of a larger group, you will want to all book into the same ‘group’, Mistletoe or Evergreen if you want to go round the experience together.
