Tickets £15* per child. Only available online. (*plus small booking fee)

Only ticket holders meet Santa (accompanying parents/guardians etc can watch free of charge but don’t get a present 😄).
The Barn will be open to everyone, including those not bringing children to meet Santa, to see the demonstrations, the choir, and make purchases at our pop-up Christmas shop.
