A short twilight walk through Quarry Bank's Upper Garden, lit with festive lights, where children meet Mrs Claus getting the sleigh ready and pick up reindeer food (a New Year treat from 28 December). It takes about 30 minutes, and every ticket includes a hot drink. Paths are flat and step-free; wrap up warm, as it's outdoors. Arrive five minutes before your slot.
