Anna Tank from Paradise Wildlife Park has written a guest post about their upcoming festive activities…
Bring festive spirit to all the family at Paradise Wildlife Park this Christmas. Gather loved ones together to experience a yuletide joy like no other. Throughout November & December we have numerous festivities to help boost Christmas morale for everyone! This starts with Santa arriving at the park on the 23rd of November along with the Christmas Market.
Can you hear sleigh bells?

That’s right, Father Christmas will be returning to the park jollier than ever! Join Santa in the Christmas grotto where you can make your last minute gift requests and create some festive arts and crafts. Pop in to create special baubles, meet the elves and nibble on Christmas cookies. Experience Christmas like never before with this unique meet and greet you’ll be sure to not forget in a hurry. Santa will be available for visits every weekend from the 23rdNovember and every day during the week leading up to Christmas day.
It’s a magical honour to have Santa open up the Christmas market and switch on the Christmas lights at Paradise. There will be a celebration of Christmas carols to commemorate the beginning of the official Christmas season with Santa.

What can you expect from the market?
Visitors can expect the fully immersive Christmas experience. Mooch about the cosy Christmas stalls stocking every Christmas delight from gingerbread to ornate glass decorations. Upon this, it is the perfect chance to grab some unique Christmas gifts such as festive smelling candles, clothing and accessories and adorable festive cupcakes! Santa will be there to formally open the market and grotto so make sure you get down there to catch a glimpse of the man himself. If you would like to visit the Grotto, please make sure to book online in advance due to limited availability. The entry charge is £7.50, which includes a workshop of arts and crafts, a Christmas gift and time with Father Christmas himself. An unforgettable Christmas memory
