Children and parents alike love the park’s spooky transformation and decorations. Our team works hard to deliver a value-for-money Halloween experience that guests will remember for years to come.”

Paultons Park transforms into a magical Christmas wonderland for its popular Celebration of Christmas event from Friday 6th December to Monday 23rd December 2024. Illuminations and decorations adorn the attraction, and at Peppa Pig World, Peppa and her friends dress up in their Christmas outfits for the season. A special Christmas menu is available at selected food and drink outlets across the park.

Santa’s Magical Wish Show brings the festive spirit to the Show Stage with heaps of singing and dancing. Popular characters, Billy and Belinda the elves, Frosty the SnowmanRudolph the Reindeer, and Father Christmas himself, take to the stage for a performance the whole family will love.

Father Christmas welcomes guests to his grotto for family photos and to meet his reindeer, polar bears, and the toy makers who make the season so special. Early booking is advised for Santa’s Grotto to avoid disappointment.

James added: “At Christmas, we bring an extra special touch to the magic of Paultons Park. Families celebrating together is what the festive season is all about. Making memories with Peppa and George in their winter outfits and stopping off to meet Santa in his grotto are some of my favourite Christmas moments at the park.”
