Wander through The Village as it transforms into a holiday haven, brimming with cheer and timeless traditions.

Become one of Santa’s helpers for the day and craft a toy in Santa’s Workshop. Then, learn the secrets of the season at the School for Elves, and create playful decorations to take home.

Experience a wintery puppet show before sampling Santa’s favourite treats: cookies and hot cocoa! Enjoy cheerful and festive stories and then test your skills at our Reindeer Carnival Games.
