Visiting Santa’s Woodland Workshop At Center Parcs
Last November we visited Center Parcs Winter Wonderland. It would be our second visit for the Christmas festivities, our first was in December 2016. During our first visit, we made sure we visited Santa. It was quite an experience for many different reasons but that didn’t put us off making sure we saw Santa again. Our second experience of visiting Santa’s Woodland Workshop was much better. I think it was positivity helped by the fact that it wasn’t raining! Visiting Santa’s Woodland Workshop At Elveden Forest As with our first visit I made sure that we would be visiting Santa’s Woodland Workshop at dusk. I think it’s the perfect time…
Twilight Christmas Experience at Colchester Zoo
We haven’t visited Colchester Zoo for a while now. When our Zoo passes run out a few years ago we didn’t renew them. At the time Darren’s shift work meant we wouldn’t be able to use them as much as we wanted to. When I got the email about the Twilight Christmas Experience at Colchester Zoo I knew I wanted to take the children to the event. It mentioned viewing the Christmas lights on the land train. Ethan loves Christmas lights so I knew he would enjoy it. Having visited Santas grotto at Colchester Zoo numerous times and taking Ethan to the breakfast with Santa event in 2012. I knew…
Visiting Santa at Colchester Castle
One place that is on our must-visit list is Colchester Castle. We have walked past it many times but have never found the time to visit. I spotted that this year there was going to be a grotto there. I knew that I had to book a visit with Santa at Colchester Castle. To book your visit you have to call Colchester Castle directly. It costs £5 per child to visit Santa’s Grotto and your child will receive a gift. What is really good, and is something that we need. You are given a time slot to visit Santa. For us, this reduces any queuing time and takes this stress…
The Father Christmas Experience at Marsh Farm
I’m all about creating memories as a family which means I do like visiting a Christmas Experience at this time of year. Last year we visited Center Parcs for Winter Wonderland and the years before that we had visited Lapland UK on the Superstar days they hold. This year with our preparations for Disney World and the fact that my husband might have been moaning about the distance we booked the Father Christmas Experience at Marsh Farm. Marsh Farm is in Essex and not such a long drive from us but it is actually a place we have never visited. Our friends had visited the Father Christmas experience last year…
Lapland UK Superstar Day 2015
Last year we visited Lapland UK. We did say we wouldn’t return until Little E was old enough to understand and enjoy the Christmas magic. So you can image Darren’s surprise when I was bugging him to take us again this year. I had looked into Breakfast with Santa at Colchester Zoo again. The price increase at the zoo meant there wasn’t that much difference in going there or Lapland UK. The bonus with Lapland UK is that Ethan would get the chance to ice skate again. We are allowed on the ice wearing our snow boots which means we can support him. So on the 1st of December Ralph…
