Festive opening - 10th - 24th December. Join us for a magical journey through the secret forest, grab your lanterns and get ready to see what our forest folk are up to for the festive season. In Bogglinton the grumpy Bogglins are full of festive cheer singing carols and decorating their burrow homes.
The fairies have been busy adorning the trees with twinkling lights and even the Witch is getting into the Christmas spirit. Warm up with seasonal treats in Santa's village and visit the man himself in his woodland grotto. Visit our website for more information and to purchase tickets.
