Step into a little Christmas magic and meet Father Christmas and his friendly elves inside The Forum! This free, family-friendly experience runs at set times throughout the day and is designed especially for children.
To keep the experience special and comfortable for everyone, spaces are limited to around 20 children per hour. Entry will be first come, first served, and children will receive their visit time by collecting a “magical orb” from our special gumball machine near the festive arch (10–20p coins needed).
Times:
11am–12pm
1pm–3pm
4pm–5pm
