About the event

Father Christmas will be making a very special journey to Brockholes this winter! 

Step into his enchanting Christmas grotto, nestled beside our beautiful Meadow Lake and enjoy a truly magical festive experience surrounded by the wonder of winter wildlife.

Winter is a spectacular time at Brockholes. Wrap up warm and discover a magical landscape transformed by sparkling frosts, atmospheric morning mists and wonderful wildlife encounters. Keep your eyes peeled for magnificent red deer, dazzling starling murmurations and on the coldest mornings, a delicate layer of ice glistening across our beautiful lakes. 

Whilst waiting for their meeting with Father Christmas, little ones can get into the festive spirit by decorating their very own Christmas cookie and getting creative with a special Christmas craft. 

During their special visit with Father Christmas, children will have the chance to meet the man himself in his cosy festive grotto, tell him their Christmas wishes and enjoy a magical moment before choosing their very own toy from his workshop!

Father Christmas's visits are incredibly popular at Brockholes, and spaces are limited. We recommend booking your magical Christmas experience early, to avoid disappointment. 

Brockholes is part of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust and we are a charity working to create, protect and manage vital habitats for wildlife across Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside. Every ticket purchased for our Christmas events supports wildlife in your local area!

Tickets include:

• Christmas cookie decorating whilst you wait.
• Make your own Christmas craft which you can take with you.
• Meet and greet with Father Christmas with lots of photo opportunities.
• Choose your own toy from Father Christmas's workshop.

Tickets are bookable in half hour slots, each child gets their very own 5 minute slot with Father Christmas. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Brockholes!
