About the Event

Come be transported into a world of make believe at Arley Hall as we present the inaugural ‘Once Upon a Christmas at Arley Hall. This enchanting experience is unlike any other Father Christmas event, as you delve into a magical fairy-tale world to save Christmas!

Start your adventure with a tale of how the Snow Queen has kidnapped Father Christmas and outlawed all festivities. You will then embark on an immersive quest through the fairy-tale kingdom, meeting magical characters along the way, becoming heroes of your own winter legend and restoring the magic of Christmas!

This epic journey ends with the opportunity to meet and receive a present from Father Christmas, take photos and place a magic wish on Father Christmas’ Wishing Tree.

Here’s a reminder of this magical experience, delivered at Wentworth Woodhouse last year: https://youtu.be/Vs8Sc-lauqw
