Father Christmas 2024 at Wicken Fen
Ho ho ho! Bookings for Christmas at the Fen are now open!
Enjoy a traditional festive treat with your little ones in the Fen Cottage at Wicken Fen. Join the Elves to make a Christmas decoration and collect a take-home Christmas craft pack, then make your way to Fen Cottage to meet Father Christmas and receive a present. This event is very popular and always sells out quickly. Tickets are £13.50 per child.
Please note:
- Check in with the team of Elves in the Visitors Centre.
- It will be cosy inside Fen Cottage with Father Christmas, but you may want waterproof coats and shoes to make your way there. Christmas jumpers and hats are definitely welcome!
- Fen Cottage is a very small space with an uneven floor. We ask you to leave pushchairs and wheelchairs outside if possible, but please let us know if that is not possible. Assistance dogs are welcome in Fen Cottage - please leave other dogs at home.
- Suitable for children aged 0-12 years.
- Please be aware there is a car park charge of £3.20 (please bring coins) to pay on the day for non-members. The café will be open every day, with a selection of warming drinks and festive treats, as well as a variety of lunch options.
- All children that have ticket purchased for them will receive a gift. If tickets are not purchased for babies or toddlers, they are welcome to accompany the family but won’t receive a gift. In some circumstances parents or carers have chosen to bring a gift for these younger children, so they feel part of the experience.
