Interactive Christmas extravaganza on way to farm tourist attraction
THE National Forest Adventure Farm, in Tatenhill, will be transformed into a magical winter wonderland for an interactive extravaganza this Christmas.
The North Pole Adventure, which attracts over 14,000 visitors every year, will be returning to the family farm park for 15 days only, letting families transport themselves on a magical journey to the North Pole. The immersive experience takes in the sights, sounds and smells of Christmas.
Families will find themselves transported to Father Christmas’ hometown, where they can explore the Victorian High Street complete with sweet shop and pub to enjoy warming hot chocolate, mulled wine and mince pies. Once there, help the Elves sort parcels and fix the toy machine to save Christmas.
Under the Northern Lights, meet the magical talking Polar Bear and sing festive songs with Silvermist the reindeer. Then keep the elves on time by ringing the bells, and try your hand at decorating gingerbread men with Mother Christmas before meeting Father Christmas and stopping off at the elves’ workshop to collect a gift.
Totalling 10,000 square feet of indoor festive fun at the 40 acre farm, owners Ivor and Tom
Robinson wanted to create the ultimate Christmas experience for families and have carefully recreated every detail for the traditional festive celebration.
Ivor said: “Christmas is such a magical time of year. The North Pole Adventure helps to bring traditional festivities to Staffordshire by recreating the sights and sounds of one of the most magical places in the world – Father Christmas’ North Pole.
“It is great to see the delight it brings our visitors, and we are expecting another sell out year as families look to create special memories and capture the essence of Christmas spirit.”
The North Pole Adventure opens on Saturday, November 26, and will run on selected dates all the way up to December 24. Tickets start from £29 for children and £19 for adults, and include entrance to the farm, as well as the one hour and 45minute North Pole trip.
Entrance also includes the usual farm favourites such as pedal Go-karts, frisbee golf, Jurassic Canyon sand and fossil dig, tractor rides, an animal barn with goats, chickens, pigs, horses, cows, rabbits and guinea pigs, JCB Big Dig Zone and giant jumping pillows.
