Pick up your Elf Academy passport and enjoy festive challenges, collecting stamps as you go. From Christmas crafts and potion-making to festive treats, toy personalisation and writing a letter to Santa, there’s plenty for little elves to discover along the way.
When you’re ready for a break from the festive fun, Sequoia spa is the perfect place to slow things down. Older children and adults can enjoy time to swim, unwind and recharge before heading back to the Christmas celebrations. Whether it’s a quiet dip in the pool, a little time to relax or a treatment for the grown-ups, consider this your Christmas time-out.
Saddle up for a North Pole pony ride through the woodlands, stop by to meet Father Christmas’ reindeer, or let little ones take the wheel in a Elf Mini Landie. For grown-ups after something a little more high-energy, take aim with a round of axe throwing.
Slow things down and enjoy the little moments that make Christmas feel special: catch a festive film or warm up with a hot chocolate by The Glasshouse firepit. Switch off and let us take care of the rest.
Enjoy festive crafts and games, head outdoors for archery or catch one of our hawking displays. Little ones can join the fun at Anouska’s Kids’ Club, while grown-ups make time for a Bamford treatment, a round of golf or a quiet afternoon in the Lounges. And if you’re staying through to New Year, there are fireworks and a DJ celebration to round off the festive season.
