We attended the Christmas experience today and it was fantastic! So well organised, not overly busy or rushed and lots to do. Many of these experiences are often so busy you can’t get to anything but it was just the perfect mix of a good atmosphere but plenty of space to do all the activities.The staff were on hand for anything you needed and extremely helpful while still staying in character. The kids loved it and so did us parents! Well done Monk Park Farm!!
Thank you 🙂

Went yesterday to their Santa experience and it was a brilliant day out. It was all very well thought out and flowed wonderfully when we arrived.
We left at 5.30 and had not seen everything as there was so much to see and do on this special day.
Would highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic experience from beginning to end. Santa was amazing the best we’ve seen and he was so good with my 2yr old Granddaughter who was really frightened to start with but he soon calmed her down and she left with a big smile on her face.
All the elves were really friendly and helpful.
We will definitely be back next year!

Step 1 Santa’s Grotto
Join Santa in his magical grotto and enjoy quality time with your family in a private setting. Share your Christmas wishes with him, and he’ll check his naughty and nice list. If you’ve been good, you’ll receive a Magical Gold Coin to spend in his Toy Emporium.
Step 2 The Toy Emporium
Step into the Amazing Toy Emporium and be welcomed by Bramble the Elf, Santa’s chief toy maker from the North Pole. Use your Magical Gold Coin to select one of the hundreds of toys available in the store, and take home and treasure.
Step 3 North Pole Sorting Office
Continue your adventure to the North Pole Sorting Office, where Parsnip the Elf manages the millions of letters received each year. Write a thank-you postcard to Santa, and Parsnip will help you post it in the HUGE North Pole Postbox. While you’re there, you can also view the photos taken with Santa in the grotto.
Step 4 Willowpool The Elf Village
Next, embark on an enchanting journey through the Elf Village, discovering where the elves reside and enjoy their leisure time when they’re not busy assisting Santa with toy production. Capture fantastic photos along the way and don’t forget to collect your sticker to add to your passport!
Step 5 The Amazing Elf Show
Check the back of your passport for the schedule of the Amazing Elf Show starring Bluebelle and Thistle the elves. While you enjoy the hilarious performance, Grownups can also indulge in a complimentary hot chocolate. Don’t forget to stop by the “Sweet Shop” for a treat or marshmallow toasting before finding your seat!
Step 6 Mrs Claus Kitchen
A trip to the North Pole isn’t complete without stopping by Mrs. Claus’s Kitchen! She’s been hard at work baking gingerbread men for all the good girls and boys to enjoy, and she needs your help decorating them. Each child will receive a delicious gingerbread man along with sweets and icing for decorating, and allergens will be accommodated.
Step 7 The Fun Doesn’t Stop
By now, you’ve had an eventful day, but there’s still more to explore! Visit Santa’s Stable to meet the animals and create some magical reindeer dust to sprinkle on Christmas Eve. Join Elf Barley in the Bear Workshop to build your very own bear (extra charge applies). Head to the Hungry Monk Café for a delicious festive bite to eat, and enjoy toasting marshmallows. Have fun in the outdoor play areas (weather permitting) and capture precious memories at various photo points around the park

We decided to try the Great Yorkshire Christmas this year after finding other venues overpriced, and we were blown away! The event was beautifully organized, and my little boy had an amazing time. Santa was incredible – he took his time and had a detailed chat with my son, making it a truly magical experience.
Despite the tickets being sold out, the venue wasn’t overcrowded, and there were no long queues for anything. When we needed an additional ticket at the last minute, the team was fantastic and quickly accommodated our request.
Overall, it was a lovely day out, and we will definitely be returning next year. Highly recommended!
