What is Hatton’s Enchanted Christmas Kingdom?
Hatton’s Enchanted Christmas Kingdom is a full festive family day out at Hatton Adventure World in Warwickshire.
Your visit includes a special Father Christmas experience, a gift for each child, Christmas shows, gingerbread decorating, reindeer-food making, festive animal encounters, indoor soft play, funfair rides and plenty more to enjoy throughout the day.
Unlike a short grotto visit, Enchanted Christmas Kingdom gives families time to relax, explore and enjoy Christmas together.
“Don’t forget using Apple or Google Pay allows you to split the costs of your booking with Klarna into 3 monthly instalments!”

Meet Father Christmas
Travel through the wintry tunnels, meet your Guide Elf and follow the woodland path to discover Father Christmas waiting inside his cosy grotto.
The Father Christmas experience takes place in an intimate group setting. Each family will have an opportunity to meet Father Christmas, take photographs and watch as every child receives a special magic key.
Professional photographs will be available to purchase, and families are also welcome to take their own pictures.
Toy Shop
After meeting Father Christmas, children can use their magic key to unlock a very special Christmas gift.
Each child can choose either:
A toy from Father Christmas’ Secret Toy Shop
or
Their own Create-a-Bear
The gift is included in the child’s Enchanted Christmas Kingdom ticket, so there is no additional charge for the toy or bear.
Create-a-Bear clothing and accessories are available separately. Extra bears can also be purchased on the day for £20.
North Pole Postal Station
Christmas letters deserve a suitably magical journey.
Children can write or finish their letter to Father Christmas before posting it at the North Pole Postal Station. It is a lovely opportunity for little ones to share their Christmas wishes and enjoy another special part of the festive story.
Decorate Gingerbread
Head into the Gingerbread Factory for a delicious Christmas activity with Mother Christmas.
Children can decorate their own gingerbread creation before taking it away to enjoy. It may look too good to eat, although we cannot promise it will make it all the way home!
Make Magical Reindeer Food
Mix your own special packet of magical reindeer food, ready to take home and sprinkle on Christmas Eve.
The children can carefully choose and combine the ingredients before saving their finished mixture for the most exciting night of the year.
Mr Holly Show
Join Mr Holly for a fun-filled festive family show packed with Christmas cheer, magical moments and plenty of opportunities to laugh together.
The show takes place at selected times throughout the day, giving families several opportunities to fit a performance around their Father Christmas booking.
Plus more!
More Than a Visit to Father Christmas
Enchanted Christmas Kingdom is designed as a complete family day out rather than a quick visit to a Christmas grotto.
Your Father Christmas time gives your day a special centrepiece, but there is plenty to enjoy before and afterwards. Arrive early, explore the park at your own pace and choose the activities that your family will enjoy most.
You do not need to rush through everything in a fixed order. The programme allows families to create their own festive adventure around their booked Father Christmas experience.
Your Christmas ticket includes:
- A magical group experience with Father Christmas
- A toy or Create-a-Bear for each child
- Gingerbread decorating
- Reindeer-food making
- The North Pole Postal Station
- Mr Holly’s Christmas Show
- The Glowing Forest and Wishing Tree
- Festive animal encounters
- Birds-of-prey displays
- Funfair rides and indoor soft play
- Hatton Adventure World’s usual participating attractions
Plan Your Visit
Before you arrive
Book your tickets online and choose the Father Christmas time that works best for your family.
Popular weekend dates and times close to Christmas are usually the first to fill, so booking early gives you the widest choice.
When you arrive
You can arrive before your Father Christmas time and begin exploring the other activities around Hatton Adventure World from opening.
Your booking time is for the Father Christmas experience, not general admission to the park.
Before your grotto time
Make your way to the Land of the Elves approximately 10 minutes before the time shown on your booking.
This gives your family time to begin the journey through the tunnels and meet your Guide Elf.
After meeting Father Christmas
Use your magic key to visit the Secret Toy Shop, where each child can choose their toy or Create-a-Bear.
You can then continue enjoying the shows, animals, rides and festive activities for the rest of your visit.
