Fairytale Farm Announces Christmas Event Inspired by Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol

Step into the enchanting world of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, where the magic of the Christmas season comes alive with every twinkling light and festive experience. Running on weekends from 23rd November to 8th December and daily from 9th December through to Christmas Eve, this year’s event promises to be our most memorable yet. Santa’s Grotto will be open until 5pm, with extended hours until 7pm on select dates.

Fairytale Farm owner, Nick Laister, explains that visitors will be transported back to Victorian times: “This year, visitors to our Christmas Fairytale event can immerse themselves in the timeless charm of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol as we recreate the bustling streets of Victorian London. All the favourite experiences from previous years, such as our cosy Grotto, the enchanting Fairytale Castle walk-through, and our dazzling Christmas illuminations, will return. But this year we have new additions like Tom’s Toy Shop and the heart-warming magic of a Dickensian Christmas.”

The adventure begins with a special passport that guides you through the magic of Christmas across different lands and eras. At each stop, an elf will stamp your passport, marking your journey through time.

Nick adds: “We aim to create a relaxed, personal Grotto visit, allowing plenty of time for your entire family to meet Santa, take photos, and share your Christmas wishes. Father Christmas is everything you’ve dreamed of — magical, friendly, and eager to hear about your Christmas wishes.”
