"Twas the Night Before Christmas". A story telling treat in Fen Cottage
Step into the warmth and wonder of Fen Cottage this Christmas Eve, where one of Santa’s very own Elves will be reading the beloved festive poem “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” beside a crackling open fire.
This group storytelling session is perfect for children aged 3 and up, offering a magical moment to pause, imagine, and soak up the spirit of Christmas. Every child will take home their very own copy of “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” to keep the festive magic alive.
Festive attire is encouraged—think Christmas jumpers, pyjamas, or elf hats! Come along for a heartwarming start to your Christmas celebrations!
Santa won’t be attending, but his elf will be bringing plenty of festive cheer!
Please note:
- Check in at the Visitor Centre a few minutes before your ticket time.
- It will be cosy inside Fen Cottage, 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.
- For children aged 3+ (must be accompanied).
- 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.
- If you are trying to book on the day of the event, please call the Visitor Centre on 01353 720274 to check if spaces are available.
