This will be followed by our christmas marching band, Bob The Builder and fifi, and just infront of the most important man himself Father Christmas, we have our Glow Fairy, Christmas Crackers, christmas puddings, christmas presents and of course our real reindeer pulling Father Christmas to wave to all the children sure to enchant the whole family and get them in the mood for Christmas 2009.

Giving the old man a treat for the winter season, we have created another festive grotto for Father Christmas to spend the run up to Christmas in. A fantastic treat for kids of all ages, tickets are still only £3 which includes a toy and is open every day until 4pm Christmas Eve.
