The big man is back for more – Father Christmas is returning to Bewl Water in Lamberhurst for a sixth year to sprinkle some more festive magic.
Santa popped to west Kent with Mother Christmas to begin preparations for LaplandUK, which opens in December.
He brought with him his elf helpers and some reindeer, who will all be there for the opening of the festive daytrip experience, which gives families a visit which lasts several hours and includes cooking with Mother Christmas; making toys with the elves and meeting huskies.
Plus youngsters will be able to get their “passport” stamped at each activity, before the all-important visit to Father Christmas himself.
Organisers who surveyed last year’s visitors found 92% would want to come back again.
Tickets went on sale last week for the event, which runs from Saturday, December 1 until Christmas Eve (Monday, December 24).
They cost £44.50 to £64.50. To book visit www.laplanduk.co.uk
