You'll start with a delicious breakfast before your little ones take part in fun festive games and activities, decorate their own elf mask to take home, and then, of course, they'll sit down with Santa before receiving a special gift.
This event is suited to families with children aged 3-10 years old. Children under 3 can still take part in some activities with the support of an adult. To help you to fully enjoy the experience, families will be seated and served at their own table.
