The Extraordinary Christmas Tale is a truly immersive experience for the whole family - where magical memories are made to last a lifetime!

We believe that children get the most out of their adventure when they can interact with and understand their surroundings.

As a guide, the experience

Child tickets are available for children aged 2 to 16 years old.

Infants under 2 years can attend ‘The Extraordinary Christmas Tale’ with a complimentary ‘Under 2’ Ticket, but please note infants will not join in with baking/craft activities, nor receive any food tokens or a gift from Father Christmas.

If you wish for your infant to have the full experience at ‘The Extraordinary Christmas Tale’ as a paying child would (including receiving a gift), you are welcome to purchase a child ticket for them.

Adults with additional needs may also attend ‘The Extraordinary Christmas Tale’ on a child ticket if they would benefit from experiencing the event as a child would. Please let us know if this is the case for your group/family, and we will add a note to your booking accordingly.

Please note that each booking must contain a minimum of 1x Adult and 1x Child ticket in order to be valid.

Babies under 2 years old can visit for free with an infant ticket, while children between the ages of 2 and 16 can attend with a child’s ticket.

Infants do not participate in the interactive elements of the experience (e.g. they won’t make crafts, eat treats or receive a gift from Father Christmas).

Please note that infant tickets count toward our maximum capacity, which is why everyone, big AND small, must book a ticket.

Each booking with an infant under 2 years must include at least one Child Ticket and one Adult Ticket to be valid.

As our event is centred around children, each booking must include at least one child aged between 2 - 16 years old.

‘The Extraordinary Christmas Tale’ is an immersive theatrical production designed to engage and capture the imagination of Enchanted Elflings who still believe in Father Christmas.

For this reason, we are unable to accept bookings for groups consisting solely of adults.

Our aim is to create a fun and fully inclusive event and environment for all our guests. The event is designed being mindful of inclusion and diversity issues.

We will create a safe and quieter ‘SEND’ area for those children (and/or adults) who just need a little time out to help make the experience more manageable.

The venue is accessible to everyone, and we are very happy to work with you to meet any additional needs your group/family may have.

We also offer a concessionary ticket for carer's.

As a thank you for helping ‘Jack’ understand the true magic of Christmas, each child (or infant/SEND adult with a Child Ticket) will receive an age appropriate gift*, wrapped with love and care by Father Christmas’ Elves just for your Enchanted Elflings.

*We ask for ages during the registration

Every child will receive a special Christmas present, lovingly chosen and wrapped. The littlest ones might unwrap something soft and cuddly, while older kids could discover science kits with an educational feel, something to make or family board games waiting will be waiting with Father Christmas and the Elves. Each present is age-appropriate, gender-neutral, and carefully picked to bring smiles and a treat before the big day. It’s not just a token - it’s a proper Christmas surprise, chosen with heart as parents ourselves! ✨

You are of course welcome to bring a pram/pushchair to make life easier during The Extraordinary Christmas Tale! After all, you may need your hands free to help your child/ren with their craft activities.

That being said, you are very welcome to carry your little one or ‘wear them’ in a sling if you would prefer to.

We also have some highchairs available at the venue.
