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).

1pm–3pm
4pm–5pm
