Christmas visits to Sunnycroft this December
This December, enjoy a choice of festive visit inspired by the Christmas song ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas, at Sunnycroft the National Trust property in Wellington.
The popular and magical annual Father Christmas visits will take place again, and a new event, ‘Behind the Magic’ will take place for the first time this December.
Families can prebook for a visit to see Father Christmas from Saturday 2 December to Saturday 23 December. After stepping inside Sunnycroft and spotting the decorations inspired by the 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' families will meet Father Christmas and children will receive a small gift.
Lou Hall, Site Manager at Sunnycroft said, “He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, and Father Christmas is looking forward to welcoming lots of families back to Sunnycroft this December! Sunnycroft really is magical at Christmas, and we know families will enjoy our special take on ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas – will they spot six geese-a laying, or a partridge in a pear tree?”
