A large, theatrical Christmas experience in the grounds of Capesthorne Hall, set out as a hidden elven village. Over about four and a half hours, children help the elves make a toy, decorate gingerbread with Mother Christmas, go ice skating and have a personal visit with Father Christmas. Sessions are timed and priced per person with extra booking and postage fees; an invitation parcel arrives before your visit.
