The SEND Christmas Experience 2026 - 10th December 4pm-8pm
The West Lodge SEND Christmas Experience
A Calmer Evening of Christmas Magic
Our SEND Christmas Experience is a dedicated evening for children with additional needs and their families.
Step into a world of twinkling lights, playful elves and sensory Christmas magic, enjoyed at a gentler pace with smaller group sizes and a less high-energy atmosphere.
Your festive adventure takes you through the Elves’ Post Office, Elf School, Father Christmas’s Grotto and the Elves’ Toy Shop, with more Christmas magic to enjoy across the farm.
The Elves’ Post Office
Collect your Christmas passport, magical 3D glasses and keepsake letter from Father Christmas.
Children can write and post their letter to Santa, while adults enjoy a warming glass of mulled wine.
Elf School
The elves are ready to welcome you into their magical world.
Receive your elf hat, add rosy red cheeks and step forward for the Naughty or Nice Reveal, where the elves will find out which of Father Christmas’s lists your name appears on.
Then help with a special Christmas task as the elves prepare for the biggest night of the year.
The SEND session offers the same sensory Christmas magic with a calmer atmosphere and less high-energy interaction.
Meet Father Christmas
Step into Father Christmas’s magical grotto, where he brings the wonder of Christmas Eve to life.
He shares the excitement, mystery and magic of the night, while knowing something special about each child.
The visit takes place with a smaller group of families. Each family will then have the opportunity to enjoy their own photograph with Father Christmas.
One printed family photo is included.
The Elves’ Toy Shop
Enter a room filled with Christmas treasures and gifts prepared by the elves.
Every child chooses a toy to take home.
New for 2026!
The Alpine Reindeer Village
Wander into a festive Alpine village filled with sparkling lights, seasonal displays and Christmas atmosphere.
Meet the reindeer and make your own pouch of reindeer food to sprinkle outside on Christmas Eve.
The Story of the First Christmas
Hear the Nativity story told by those who were there on the night.
Meet the stable owner as he remembers Mary and Joseph, the unexpected visitors and the night a very special baby arrived in Bethlehem.
