Mother Shipton's Cave Ticket Portal

Magical Christmas Experience

To ensure that you make it to our enchanted Christmas Village in time for your visit with Santa, please arrive promptly 15 minutes before the START of your booked time slot. We also ask that you leave by the end of your timed session.

Step into a world of magic and wonder as you enter Mother Shipton's magical Christmas experience. Get ready, for Santa is flying through the starry skies to meet you!

From the moment you step onto this enchanted land, Santa's cheerful elves will welcome you with open arms. Every child with a Santa Experience Ticket will receive a pack of festive activities, a magical pass to unlocking the wonders that await.

As you wander through the winter woodland, the Christmas Village awaits, a place where enchantment and holiday spirit intertwine. Gaze upon the merry displays and festive delights that fill the air with joy.

And who could forget Chief Elf Chestnut, the embodiment of excitement and joy? They'll lead you to the highlight of your journey—a special visit to Santa himself! Step into his cozy grotto, where time stands still as you create memories that will warm your heart for years to come.

Pose for a photo inside Santa's magic sleigh, before he journeys through snow-covered lands and starlit skies on Christmas Eve night.

Gather around Holly Berry, the enchanting storyteller, as she weaves tales of wonder and merriment. Settle upon the reindeer chairs nestled within her charming tipi, adorned with lights that shimmer like angel wings.

Collect your very own bag of reindeer food, a magical blend that you'll sprinkle outside on Christmas Eve to guide Santa's reindeer to your home.

In the heart of this mystical place, find the Snowy Owl Sorting Office and send your heartfelt wishes to Santa himself. Stamp, seal, and imagine your letter soaring through the night sky.

You have the chance to purchase delicious treats, like hot chocolate, gingerbread biscuits, and mince pies, alongside marshmallows to toast on our Christmas fire. The quirky refreshment cabins, snug log gazebos, and inviting heated eating tipi are waiting to embrace you.

Deeper into the woodland, discover the wonders of the Petrifying Well, the Cave, and the Wishing Well, where wishes take flight like twinkling stars.

So come to Mother Shipton's realm of magic and joy this Christmas. Let your spirits soar as you embark on a Christmas experience that will leave you spellbound and brimming with holiday cheer.
