About Magical Christmas Experience - Mother Shipton's Cave

Step into a world of magic and wonder as you enter the magical Christmas experience. Get ready, for Santa is flying through the starry skies to meet you!

From the moment you step into this enchanted land, Santa’s cheerful elves will welcome you with open arms. Every child with a Santa Experience Ticket will receive a pack of festive activities, a magical pass to unlock the wonders that await. As you wander through the winter woodland, the Christmas Village awaits, a place where enchantment and holiday spirit intertwine. Gaze upon the merry displays and festive delights that fill the air with joy.

And who could forget Chief Elf Chestnut, the embodiment of excitement and joy? They will lead you to the highlight of your journey: a special visit to Santa himself! Step into his cosy grotto, where time stands still as you create memories that will warm your heart for years to come. Named as one of the ‘Best Christmas Grottos to Meet Santa’ by the Telegraph.

You have the chance to purchase delicious treats, like hot chocolate, gingerbread biscuits, and mince pies, alongside marshmallows to toast on our Christmas fire. The quirky refreshment cabins, snug log gazebos, and heated eating tipi are waiting to embrace you.

Deeper into the woodland, discover the wonders of the Petrifying Well, the Cave, and the Wishing Well, where wishes take flight like twinkling stars.
(Access to the Marshmallow toasting area, Cave, Well & Gift Shop is subject to weather conditions – this is an outdoor attraction situated in an ancient woodland, visitor safety is paramount)

Let your spirits soar as you embark on a Christmas experience that will leave you spellbound and brimming with holiday cheer.
