  • Hours: The North Pole Adventure experience begins at the time slot selected on the next page. Visitors can access the farm and its facilities from 9am.
  • Accessibility: Up to two standard-sized wheelchairs are permitted per session, but mobility scooters and large electric wheelchairs cannot be accommodated due to doorway sizes.

Tips & Advice

  • Arrive at the farm at least 30 minutes before your session starts, because latecomers can't be moved to another time slot.
  • Book your baby a toddler ticket if you want them to get the passport, elf coins, gingerbread and a present, since babes in arms get none of these.
  • If you don't know your child's personalisation details at booking, enter N/A and phone at least four weeks before your visit to confirm them.
  • Come early in the day because your ticket includes the farm, so you can fit in the new Christmas show, the craft area, soft play and the animal barn.
  • Leave the pushchair at the buggy park by the entrance, because pushchairs aren't allowed inside the North Pole Adventure itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the North Pole Adventure take?

The adventure itself lasts just over an hour. Your ticket also covers the wider farm, so you can use the soft play, outdoor play and animal barn before or after your session.

What's new this year?

Every child now gets a personalised Father Christmas experience as well as the personalised talking polar bear. Groups are smaller, and the Victorian Village has been made over and expanded. There's also a new 20-minute interactive Christmas show on the Main Farm Show stage, plus a new Christmas Craft Area run by elves in the festive courtyard.

Can I bring a pushchair?

No, pushchairs aren't allowed inside the North Pole Adventure. There's a buggy park at the entrance to the experience.

Do babies need a ticket?

Babes in arms go free, but they don't get handouts (ticket, passport, elf coins, gingerbread) or a present. If you want your baby to receive these, book them a toddler ticket.

What information do you need about my child?

You'll be asked for details to personalise the polar bear show and the Father Christmas visit. If you don't know the answers yet, enter N/A and call to confirm them at least four weeks before your visit.
