About Storytime+ with Father Christmas
Father Christmas and his elves have taken time out of their busy schedule to call into the Oak Barn at the farmyard. Make yourself comfortable, as he has a special festive story he'd like to share with you and the other visiting families.
Children will have the opportunity to meet Father Christmas and have their photograph taken with him.
The elves will help children make some magic reindeer food (ready to leave out on Christmas Eve), and have a small gift for each child to take home. Adult ticketholders will also receive a hot drink voucher, redeemable from any Chatsworth catering outlet.
This session is an upgrade to our usual Storytime with Father Christmas, and includes:
- Access to the decorated house at any time on the day of your visit*
- Access to the garden and the garden light trail at any time on the day of your visit*
- Access to the farmyard and adventure playground at any time on the day of your visit*
Tickets include parking for one vehicle per transaction.
Tickets also include access to the Christmas market on the day of your visit. The market runs from 7 November - 13 December.
