The Christmas Experience 2026
The West Lodge Christmas Experience
Where the Magic Begins
Step into a world of twinkling lights, playful elves and unforgettable Christmas magic.
Your festive adventure takes you through the Elves’ Post Office, Elf School, Father Christmas’s Grotto and the Elves’ Toy Shop, with even more Christmas magic to enjoy across the farm.
The Elves’ Post Office
Collect your Christmas passport, magical 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.
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 is shared with a small group of families, followed by time for each family to enjoy their own photograph with Father Christmas.
One printed family photo is included.

Enter a room filled with Christmas treasures and gifts prepared by the elves. Every child chooses a toy to take home.
