The farm areas and Woodland Walk will be transformed into a magical Christmas wonderland complete with twinkly trees, light displays, character meet and greets, festive music and lots more! Mrs Claus, Mother Ginger and their little elves will be wandering around the farm greeting visitors (and there might even be some Christmas carols!).
The legendary Christmas Panto is back (oh yes it is!) alongside the Christmas discovery trail, where there’s a prize waiting at the end. There’s Christmas crafting happening in the barn and don’t miss the reindeer feed station – make up a bag and take it home for Santa’s special helpers on Christmas Eve and enjoy the cafe’s festive food and treats including hot chocolate with the trimmings.
If you visit on weekdays between 30 November & 20 December, Newham Grange won’t be running the Festive Farm activities above or the additions below, but you can still enjoy the decorations, the Christmas trail and grab some tasty treats from the cafe.
