Where to see the big FC in or near north London (or another big day out)?

[wouldthatbeworse]

Hi all, the last 3 years we’ve been to Willows farm for Santa Spectacular which is good but it’s very expensive and they roll out the exact same stuff every year (it’s starting to look tired)

Where else have people enjoyed meeting Santa in or north of London? Kids are 4 and 7. Or do we sack it off and spend money on Disney on Ice instead? Thanks all

Springtime garden centre in Crews Hill (Enfield) is supposed to be very good. Lots of friends and family have done it.

Audley End Santa Express is lovely.

Marsh Farm in Essex

Sure you won’t venture south? Chessington World of Adventures do FC well, although my kids are a little older now so it may have changed. It’s a full day out, not just a fleeting visit.
Tulley’s Farm is also brilliant.

Came onto say this. My dcs are in their 20’s now but we always used to go here for a visit.

The London Zoo one was great and brilliant with SEN DC.

Thank you. There are some lovely suggestions here. The older one would love Chessington and the younger one would love the Audley end railway.

The Epping Ongar railway Santa Special is really good fun.

Harrods. My daughters loved going there!

Also came to say Crews Hill, was lovely when we did it.
