Meet St Nicholas

Please note: Our December dates are now fully booked, with limited availability remaining on selected dates in November.

Windows aglow and gifts piled high, this enchanting experience returns to our cosy Gardener's Cottage.

This time-honoured Newt Christmas tradition, introduces Newtlings to St Nicholas - the figure who inspired the Father Christmas we know today.

Exclusive family encounters ensure children will have the chance to meet St Nicholas together, share a festive moment with siblings and each receive a thoughtful gift.

Add some extra magic with our Enchanted Christmas Trail and put pen to paper at our letter writing station in the Threshing Barn.
