The Festival of Christmas & Santa’s Cosy Cottage Visits

It’s Official….Santa’s Back alongside spectacular programme of seasonal events for all the family!
And this Christmas You’re a Part of the Magic!

The elves have given the nod, the tinsel is already getting wildly out of hand and Santa has confirmed his return to Almond Valley. Christmas 2026 is ON!

And this year, we’re making it more joyful, more playful than ever. Because together time and collective giggles are really what Christmas is all about. 

We’re readying Almond Valley for our most ambitious festive season to date – a joyful programme built around something wonderfully simple: bringing people together.

So whilst there’ll be enough twinkling lights to dazzle, plenty of festive sparkle and almost certainly more tinsel than is sensible, the real sparkle comes from you.

This Christmas, Almond Valley is a place to gather, play, create, explore and join in – with interactive adventures, festive challenges, storytelling, performances, community creativity and plenty of opportunities to unleash your Christmas spirit – and of course Santa will be at home in his Cosy Cottage throughout.

From magical daytime moments, and special visits with Santa in his Cosy Cottage, to the return of our Festival of Christmas and our fabulous Santa’s Express we’re packing the season with shared experiences for the whole family.

And this isn’t a Christmas experience you simply watch from the sideline..

This Christmas, you’re part of the magic. So dig our the Christmas jumpers, ready your festive spirit and come get your jingle on right here at Almond Valley!!

Please Note: Santa’s Cost Cottage Experience must be booked separately and in addition to an daytime general admission ticket or Festival of Christmas admission ticket.
