Hi. Can anyone recommend a great day experience meeting Father Christmas? We’re in the North West but can travel.
Up to now we’ve done:
Strid Wood
East Lanc Railway
Otterspool

Thanks

Stockeld Park and Castle Howard are good.

Thank you @Forgottenmyphone we’re actually going to Stockeld Park tomorrow so I’ll check it out!

Smithills Farm just outside Bolton. Santa was very funny and you get to meet lots of animals.. Worth buying a pint or two of their ice cream to take home with you as well (the ferrero rocher one is amazing)

We have opted for Raby Castle this year

Can confirm their ice-cream is brilliant
