Festive Boat Trip & Grotto Experience

Begin your adventure with a festive canal boat trip, where one of Santa’s friendly elves will entertain you with stories, games, a Christmas quiz and jingle bells. Afterwards, step inside Father Christmas’s enchanting grotto, where a snowy woodland scene and a crackling fireplace create the perfect setting to meet Santa himself.
