Den visitors can book a time to meet Father Christmas in his newly created woodland lodge and capture a festive family photo. Mother Christmas’ Toy Shop will be open for all children over one to choose a free early Christmas present to take home using their coins from Father Christmas.

Families can join Bauble ze Baker to decorate a festive gingerbread and toast marshmallows around the firepit. There’s also the added option to jump into William’s Giant Snow Globe for a festive photo opportunity.

Tor said: “Christmas at William’s Den is a magical time of year. We’ve gone to great lengths to create an experience that captures the true spirit of Christmas, inspired by the festive joys we remember from growing up.

“This year we’ve created a new woodland lodge for families to meet Father Christmas in, made from materials in our woodland. And we’ve been working hard on the 2024 Christmas Show which promises to entertain children of all ages (even the grown-ups!)

“We can’t wait to welcome Father Christmas and families, book your tickets online in advance to avoid disappointment.”
