Mother Shipton’s Magical Christmas Experience 2024

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.
