Christmas at Crockford December 2018. KT15 2BU.

I don’t know about where you guys live, but here in Surrey it seems by Oct 1st everyone is already panicking about where to book to give their kiddies the best Father Christmas/ Santa experience possible.

I’m always asking everyone what they do and how was it last year. I’m Christmas mad and desperate for my kids to believe, although I’m pushing it now with the 8 yr old!

I’m sure you all already have your favourites, but just in case you don’t, this one is usually great. Book early though to avoid disappointment.

Christmas at Crockford is held at Crockford Bridge Farm in Addlestone, Surrey. It is an outdoor event so you do need to wrap yourselves and your kiddies up. Lasts around 30 minutes and is an interactive, story telling walk around the ‘Wonder Wood’, a woodland area full of real Christmas trees they have there. Live actors take you from festively decorated sections of the forest where the children meet the different characters from a story.

We have a 4.5 year gap between our boys but both still love this. We have been 3 years running now. This year they have increased the prices so that they can offer smaller group experiences which I must say was better as in previous years it was becoming so popular you could barely all squeeze in to see the big man himself. This year though we all sat very comfortably and each child had a 1:1 conversation with FC and received their present whilst plenty of room for their doting parents to capture the preciousness on camera.

The event itself us held on the farm directly next to a lovely warm garden centre. This has a lovely farm shop, a large cafeteria, separate coffee shop and a (rather tiny) soft play area (honestly tiny) so if you fancied a spot of lunch afterwards (they do the much loved by mummies and daddies ‘lunch boxes’) or a coffee to warm up it is right next door.

Check out their Halloween pumpkin patch event too. I’ll pop a quick post about that too as also worth a visit and more and more people I know are travelling from further away to visit Crockford at Halloween/ October half term.
