There will be a sack-full of festive activities to enjoy, culminating in a face-to-face visit to meet Father Christmas himself, at his magical grotto in the heart of the farm. Children will be able to chat to Father Christmas\u2019s elves about the letters they have written, confirm any tricky logistics of their chimneys and fireplaces, and discuss the dietary requirements of Father Christmas\u2019s reindeer.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Get a sneak peek of Godstone Farm\u2019s Christmas preview <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/drgatccr87yrf65\/Early%20Christmas%20Ad%202024.mp4?dl=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a><\/p><p><strong>Putting on a show: <\/strong>On select dates, visitors can also enjoy an exclusive theatre show. Simply check the dates on the Godstone Farm website for these special performances featuring two cheeky elves, Jingle and Jangle, who are treading the boards in one of the barns to explain how they (mostly) help Father Christmas. The 20-minute show promises to be a huge crowd pleaser with lots of interactive fun, songs and special effects!<\/p><p><strong>Make a full day of your visit: <\/strong>All tickets bought to visit Father Christmas provides entry to Godstone Farm for a full day, including access to the farm trail, indoor and outdoor play areas and animal interactions. There\u2019s every reason to visit, to say hello to several new animals and to test out the Farm\u2019s newly revamped toboggan run and aerial runway, as well as the new role play area on the mezzanine floor, within the Play Barn. The new Caf\u00e9 Baa is also an ideal spot to grab a hot drink and cake whilst the kids let off some steam.<\/p><p><strong>SEND visits and schools excursions: <\/strong>As part of Godstone Farm\u2019s commitment to becoming ever-more welcoming and inclusive, there will be daytime Father Christmas visits available for children to join in with Christmas crafts and a new interactive experience which includes festive cookie decorating!<\/p><p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-49505 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/west-kent\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/11\/Black-Friday-25-off-November-FC-visits-169x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"156\" height=\"277\" \/>Nicola Henderson, CEO of Godstone Farm comments:<\/strong> \u201cFor many families, Christmas isn\u2019t Christmas without a visit to Godstone Farm. It\u2019s become a tradition, just like turkey and stuffing, and mince pies and brandy butter. So, we\u2019re bringing back all the favourite experiences our visitors love so much, such as the elves\u2019 workshop, where children get to choose their own toy. But we also have a few treats and surprises such as the new Wish Room, where all the family can spend a magical moment making their festive wish.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>The bells are jingling, don\u2019t miss out and book tickets\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.godstonefarm.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p><p>And don&#8217;t forget that Godstone Farm are offering up to 25% of visits to Father Christmas throughout November, just use the code &#8216;<strong>GFBFSALE<\/strong>&#8216;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of Surrey\u2019s best-loved Farm Attractions, Godstone Farm is putting a host of extra-special plans in place for its 2024 Christmas Experience.
