Visit Father Christmas
2024.
We’re sad to say we aren’t running our Father Christmas visits this year.
During the pandemic the performing arts industry was decimated and many of our core team of actors left the industry for other professions.
Coupled with soaring business costs across the board, we're taking a brief hiatus to focus on other areas of our business and will reassess the situation next year.
We realise this will be disapointing for many, however we know our Father Christmas visits are a unique and much loved experience and we don’t want to compromise our magical woodland visits with an experience that isn't up to our exacting standards.
Tickets
Tickets are required for everyone entering the Woods. No ticket is required for babies when accompanying an older sibling, however if you wish for your baby to visit Father Christmas and receive a gift then a child ticket must be purchased and an age appropriate gift is included. Those without tickets will not be permitted entry.
Child Ticket £ tbc (under 14 years) + booking fee
Adult Ticket £ tbc (14 years and older) + booking fee.
Visiting with friends...
Our woodland cabins are cozy and can only accomodate small groups of people at a time. This is part of what makes our visits to Father Christmas such a magical experience and we're unable to take bookings for large groups. When booking, please be aware that you may not be able to visit Father Christmas with friends on another booking..
We're a small team and responding to complex cancellations or rescheduling requests for bookings that span multiple households makes our event unworkable.
Please contact us directly if you're having problems booking tickets for your family by emailing general@crockfordbridgefarm.co.uk
On the day...
Please arrive at the farm and be ready at the Wonder Wood at least 15 minutes before the time stated on your ticket. Your tickets are to a specific time slot, sadly if you arrive late you will miss your visit with Father Christmas.
We strongly urge you to check local travel conditions before setting off and to allow plenty of time for unexpected delays. Roadworks and heavy holiday traffic on the M25 are common throughout December.
Group sizes are strictly limited to keep a special, magical feel in the Woods. It is not fair for customers arriving on time to have their group over crowded with latecomers and their own experience diminished.
Arriving on time is your responsibility, we cannot offer refunds or reschedule tickets for latecomers.
Booking your tickets...
Tickets are usually available from the start of November (after our Pumpkin Festival ends)
Tickets can only be booked online in advance and are not available on the day. When booking your tickets, please make sure you have fully entered your card details and received a confirmation email.
The 'Payment Confirmation' screen you will be taken to next (pictured) is NOT the final stage of the booking process....
