Father Christmas at Perrygrove

A Magical Family Christmas Experience in the Forest of Dean

All aboard the Christmas Express to North Pole Station to meet Father Christmas at Perrygrove. Take your seats with a seasonal drink in the Carriage Shed Theatre where Mrs Claus and the Head Elf really need your children’s help…

Will they be successful in persuading cheeky Santa to finally get himself down the chimney?

Kids adore this heartwarming show, packed with giggles, festive fun, and a very special audience with Father Christmas himself. Every child will meet Santa and receive an age-appropriate gift – a magical moment to treasure (with lots of photo opportunities of course).
