Are the little ones already looking forward to Christmas?

Why not surprise them with a trip to see Father Christmas as well as feed the reindeer!

There will be festive fun for everyone at The Reindeer Centre’s Christmas Grotto which will open on Saturday, November 16.

The magical grotto will open its doors everyday from 10am until Christmas Eve although online booking will be required for the final day.

“Families always have a fantastic time here,” said Mark Bridges, who owns The Reindeer Centre at Capralama Farm in Bethersden.

“The children meet Father Christmas and his elves in his festive cabin and also get a quality wrapped present with the option to purchase a souvenir photo.

“Families can stroll through the seven animated scenes in our magical 150ft Christmas Grotto and then visit our covered animal barn.

“There, we have the reindeer that can be stroked as well as other farm animals including goats, pigs, donkeys, llamas, guinea pigs and the cheeky meerkats in the reptile corner.”

And there’s more!

Children can have great fun with the popular straw bale ball pit, climb aboard the pirate ship in the sand play area and even become fully immersed in the artificial snow play area.

There are also food and drink options too.

Visitors can purchase hot drinks and fast food including burgers, hotdogs, sandwiches, cold drinks, sweets and crisps while adults can also tuck into a complementary mince pie.

The Reindeer Centre is traditionally a popular choice for families looking to do something different at Christmas, especially on December 24.

“Due to unprecedented demand and shorter opening hours (9am to 2pm), we have decided to make Christmas Eve a pre-booked limited ticket holder only event,” continued Mark.

Tickets for Christmas Eve only are very limited - meaning will be unable to offer discounts on those tickets - and they will only be available online.

There will also be approximate times slots to see Father Christmas due to the many visitors on the day.

Ticket prices between Saturday, November 16 and Saturday, November 30 are £13 for children including a gift, £9 for seniors and £10 for adults.

Between Sunday, December 1 and Wednesday, December 18, tickets are priced at £16 for children including a gift, £10 for seniors and £11 for adults.

Between Thursday, December 19 and Monday, December 23, tickets are priced at £18 for children including a gift, £11 for seniors and £13 for adults.

There is limited availability on Christmas Eve and only pre-booked tickets will be accepted.

Ticket prices for that day are £22 for children including a gift, £13 for seniors and £16 for adults.
