About Christmas Fairytale 2025
Step into the enchanting world of our Christmas Fairytale 2025, where every twinkling light and festive scene brings the season to life. This year’s theme is inspired by the timeless charm of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and the magic of Victorian London in winter.
Travel Back to Victorian Times
Wander London streets beneath glowing lamplight, listen for the carol singers, and watch as Ebenezer Scrooge’s journey unfolds. You’ll also enjoy all your favourite Fairytale Farm traditions:
- Meet Father Christmas in his cosy grotto
- Explore the Fairytale Castle walk-through
- Be dazzled by our bigger and brighter illuminations
- Discover new highlights including Tom’s Toy Shop and Dickensian street scenes
Your Christmas Journey
Your adventure begins with a special Christmas Passport, guiding you across magical lands and festive eras. At each stop, a friendly elf will stamp your passport.
Highlights of the Christmas Fairytale 2025 include:
- Begin Your Journey: One of Santa’s elves will lead you to the Fairytale Castle, where your adventure from the South Pole to the North Pole begins.
- Meet the Penguins: Enjoy a lively encounter with our dancing penguins, visit the Toymaker in his log cabin, and admire Santa’s sleigh ready for take-off.
- Santa’s Grotto: Follow the Secret Forest trail to meet Father Christmas in a private grotto visit — no shared groups, just your family’s special moment.
- Victorian Wonderland: Stroll through Dickensian streets, collect your gift from Tom’s Toy Shop (included with Child and Under 2 tickets), and meet characters from A Christmas Carol.
- Mother Goose & Friends: Join in the festive fun with Mother Goose and her companions.
- Mouse Town at Christmas: A seasonal twist on our much-loved miniature town.
Santa Awaits
Father Christmas is everything you’ve imagined — warm, welcoming, and eager to hear every Christmas wish. Children can take their time chatting, posing for photos, and soaking up the festive magic.
