From a magical journey at Thurford to North Pole at Pensthorpe: Here are five places children can visit Father Christmas in West Norfolk
With Christmas just around the corner, you may be wondering where you can take the little ones to see Santa Claus.
Luckily, Father Christmas will be stopping by at some West Norfolk events for children to deliver their wishlist themselves, and here are just five places where you can pay him a visit:
1- Santa’s Magical Journey at Thursford
Step into a magical journey to see Santa, which will take you on a trail past penguins and polar bears to giant-sized teddy bears ready to load Santa’s sleigh and then past the busy elves hard at work in the toy factory with the wrapping machine.
You will meet lots of fantasy characters including a snowman family but watch out for the snowballs! After your visit to Father Christmas’s grotto, your journey continues as you venture outside through the Enchanted Journey of Lights.
Visitors can see Santa on selected dates between November 23 and December 23, with a relaxed day on December 1.
Tickets can be booked online, but the relaxed timeslots should be booked via telephone.
2- The North Norfolk Pole at Pensthorpe
Father Christmas has decided to set up his home at The North Norfolk Pole at Pensthorpe over nine dates. It is the perfect festive event to put the sparkle into Christmas early this year for children of all ages.
