About

This Festive season revel in the magic and excitement of Christmas and enjoy a delicious breakfast in comfortable surroundings, complete with fireplace setting and a visit from Father Christmas.

Begin your magical morning by gathering around our cosy fireplace setting for a special story with Father Christmas, a story not to be missed. Perhaps if we're lucky Father Christmas will bring us a gift. Each individual family will then be asked to join Father Christmas and share your special Christmas wishes with him (remember to bring those lists). Once your visit to Father Christmas is complete it is time to enjoy your breakfast.

There will be plenty of opportunities for each family to capture this special moment with a family photo.
