What’s On Guide – all festive events for Families and Children
Cockfield’s Farm has been building on being the ultimate Christmas destination since 2014, where the farm is entirely transformed into a breathtaking winter wonderland,. An array of enchanting attractions awaits, promising a full-fledged Christmas journey that typically spans three delightful hours.
Our immersive experience kicks off at Passport Control, where the children receive their very own passports. These passports serve as a treasure map, guiding them through a series of captivating stops along the way. Guided by our chief Elf, they are introduced to Santa, who after a heartwarming chat and professional photo opportunity, gifts them with a special “gold coin” allowing them to choose their favourite toy from the Christmas Toyshop, with the assistance of our devoted Toy Soldier.
Next, they visit the North Pole Sorting Office, where the Postmaster collects their chosen toy ticket and provides a postcard and pen for a thank-you letter to Santa, to be placed in our North Pole Post-box.
The adventure continues in the Elf Village, where they have the chance to snuggle with our fluffy animals, then later a visit to Mrs. Claus’s kitchen to decorate delectable biscuits. A stop at the Animal Barn introduces them to Prancer and Dancer and an opportunity to create their own Reindeer dust. The day concludes at our Elf Academy, where they craft their very own bear to take home, leaving our farm with hearts brimming with joy, just in time to dance under our snowfall machine.
Full Experience runs from 25th & 26th Nov and 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th, 16th to 24th Dec 2023
