Magical Christmas

We are delighted to welcome Father Christmas back to Finkley once again. Magical Christmas tickets include all-day entry to the farm; we open at 9.50 am.

The time you select on booking is the time your Christmas Journey starts at Mother Christmas’ Kitchen. Please arrive at the farm at least 15 minutes before. If you arrive late, we will not be able to move you to a later time!

Tickets are very limited this year, so book earlier to avoid disappointment. Due to capacity restrictions, only 2 adults can accompany each child on the Christmas Journey.

Magical Christmas Activities

Passport Control

On arrival, you will collect your Christmas Passport, allowing you to participate in all of the magical fun. You will also collect your letter to send to Father Christmas via the Intergalactic Post Box using a special golden ball! As you complete each of the activities, the Elves will stamp your passport. Passport Control is open from 9:50 am.

Mother Christmas’ Kitchen

You will need to arrive at the Kitchen at your allocated time, and this is where your group’s journey will begin. Mother Christmas adores baking! While you visit her in her kitchen, you will be able to decorate your own Festive Treat (allergen alternatives available, please notify the Elf on your way into the kitchen).

Meet Father Christmas

Each child will go up individually to meet Father Christmas, and you will be surprised how much he knows about each of them. So, fingers crossed, they will all be on the good list!

Make Magical Reindeer Food

Next, it is time make some Reindeer food with our eccentric Reindeer Trainer – Professor Rudolfski. This is to take home ready for Christmas Eve. Ingredients: Oats for energy, muesli for speed and a sprinkle of Christmas Magic will help the Reindeer fly on Christmas Eve!

Collect Your Present

Finally, a visit to the Toy Shop, each child may choose their own gift. Don’t forget to post your letter in the Intergalactic Post Box and remember to search around the farm for the missing Reindeer.
