Any suggestions for short festive breaks with small children?

[Ilovechristmasssssssssssss]

I have two children aged 1 and 4 and I’m looking for some inspiration for Christmas activities and trips that we can do.

We went to centre Parcs last year and really enjoyed this!

Any recommendations for a super Christmassy European city but that’s still suitable for small children? Or any short breaks away in the UK?

Would love to hear some recommendations!

London is very festive over Christmas 🎅🏻

Kielder Winter Wonderland

What part of the UK are you in ?

I don’t mind travelling anywhere in the UK.

As a PP suggested London is very festive.

Check out The Party Kingdom in Latchingdon, Essex.
It's great. Really magical for little ones.

It was recommended to me last year and I will defo go again this year.

Nuremberg has a Christmas market especially for children https://www.christkindlesmarkt.de/en/for-children/children-s-christmas-market-kinderweihnacht-1.2373258

The Langham Hotel in London has offered lovely Christmas packages in conjunction with Hamley's in recent years.

Bourton on the Water has a very lovely Christmas tree actually in the water. The Cotswolds is always good for a short break.

Last time we were there we combined the Cotswolds with also visiting Oxford for the day.

I second this. Took my kids there when they were small and they loved it! We stayed in a lodge and the company left a Santa sack with treats for the kids and put up a Christmas tree for our arrival. Then the winter wonderland experience itself was just lovely too.
