Father Christmas returns to Bolton Abbey this winter

Details

It is with great pleasure we announce that Father Christmas will be sharing his wild winter wonderland with families again this Christmas. This year will see the Strid Wood Christmas Village reimagined and transformed into a magnificent bushcraft adventure. Led by traditional woods-people the children will begin their festive journey by lighting the village fire and roasting their own cocoa beans (to be enjoyed a little later in the experience). Under twinkling Christmas lights (and while the cocoa beans roast), the children will take part in a number of exciting bushcraft activities including clay candle making, axe throwing and natural crafts. The children will get to take home all the items they make. During the activities, families will be called individually to meet the great man himself, inside his cosy log cabin. Here, there will be opportunity to talk to Father Christmas and to take photos before re-joining the activities. The experience will conclude with the children coming together to enjoy the hot chocolate from their roasted beans while listening to a communal story from Father Christmas and his elf and receiving a special gift to take home. On December 1, 14 and 23 we are pleased to have a number of relaxed visits for children with additional needs and their families. We welcome adults and older siblings to enjoy the winter village and soak up the festive atmosphere. There will be a coffee van selling refreshments and snacks throughout. What’s included? Children will join the woods-people to take part in hot chocolate making, two festive craft activities as well as axe throwing. During the craft activities, children and their families will be invited to go and meet Father Christmas inside his log cabin After completing all the activities, children will end the experience by making their own hot chocolate and enjoying it around the fire as a group. There will be an opportunity during the experience to purchase hot drinks and snacks. Due to the remote location, it will be cash only card payments may not be possible, please come prepared with cash.
