Santa will of course be in residence in his fabulous cozy cottage, welcoming families to a truly magical, personalised experience.
Once again, we will be hosting our dedicated Relaxed sessions, with reduced sound and lighting alongside our much-loved Tots and Toddlers experiences, ensuring everyone can share in the joy of Christmas.
Our aim is simple: to create a family-centred Christmas that’s magical, accessible, and affordable — and we can’t wait to welcome you.
Festival of Christmas - After Dark Experience
Saturday 6th December - Sunday 4th January
For the very first time, we’re launching our Festival of Christmas – After Dark Experience. As the sun sets, our site will be transformed into a glowing wonderland of lights, installations, and festive cheer — with just a little mischief thrown in by Santa’s cheekiest elves.
Expect twinkling trails, illuminated play, hands-on crafts, and heart-warming food and drink. It’s Christmas as you’ve never seen it before — right here in West Lothian.
Festival of Christmas - During the Day
Everyday from Saturday 6th December - Wednesday 24th December
During the daylight hours Christmas comes to life with a range of magical activities for the whole family to enjoy. Discover the joys of Christmas at Almond Valley where everyday is filled with festive cheer and unforgettable fun!
