A fantastic experience for educational organisations with young children to be involved in, celebrating the real meaning of Christmas.

Running Monday-Fridays from late November up to the end of term, this is a truly special Christmas trip for children, with the opportunity to create an audience of parents and carers too! For further information, email info@matlockfarmpark.co.uk.

Even Santa Claus knows he needs a good breakfast before he starts his busy day and what better way for him to spend it than with young friends! Book on to this lovely experience where each child sits with their family to enjoy breakfast in our specially decorated cafe, as Santa comes for a lovely chat with each child at their table. Following breakfast, every family can visit Santa in his special grotto, where each child receives a Christmas gift. Families can then enjoy the farm park at their leisure for the rest of the day!

Price: £15 per child, to include breakfast, Santa’s grotto, Christmas gift and entry to the farm park.

Adult: Winter farm park entry adult price (£7.00). Cafe breakfast menu available to choose from and pay for items separately on the day.

** Early booking advisable*

Hope you can join us!

Come and meet Santa’s friendly elf as she takes you and your little one to write a Christmas letter (or a Christmas picture!) to Santa. It’s then time to post your letter in our North Pole post box, ready to be sent to Santa’s workshop to get the rest of the elves organised in helping your Christmas wishes to come true. Next, our elf will take you to meet the Great Man in Red himself for a lovely chat in his super cosy grotto, where your little on will receive a smashing gift to take away as an early Christmas present.

Want to make it a really special trip to Santa’s grotto? We are also offering a lovely pony ride for children (3 years minimum*) before their visit to Santa, dropping children close to the grotto – how exciting!

Price : £5.00 per child for Santa’s Grotto. £2.50 per pony ride. Additional discounted winter farm park entry fees apply.

No need to pre-book. On arrival, simply pay for your Santa’s grotto/grotto with pony ride experience with your farm park entry and you will be given a ticket showing a time slot for you to go for your experience.

Please note: Santa’s grotto and pony rides are subject to availability on the day.

*Riding staff will assess all children to ensure they can sit up and hold on safely before allowing a pony ride to take place. All children are led by a staff member and a parent/carer is welcome to walk alongside.

Our super two and three course Christmas lunches will be running in our specially decorated, fully licensed garden room café daily between 12.00-2.30pm, from Saturday 30th November until Christmas Eve via prior booking. When booked at least 24 hours in advance, each diner receives free entry to the farm park too to visit our lovely animals and join in with seasonal activities!

Not only this, but as our Christmas gift to you, each adult and child who pre-books their two or three course lunch will receive a FREE return day pass to Matlock Farm Park to use after they have dined with us!
