CHRISTMAS TEA PARTY WITH SANTA

Join us for a magical Christmas Tea Party for the little ones this Christmas.

Mrs Claus will gather everyone together for Christmas story time, before each child visits Santa in his grotto for a chat and a present to take home. Arrive at 3pm and the party runs until 5pm, with activities, stories, festive food and Santa.
