After a sell-out event last year Father Christmas will be back at the Hop Farm, Paddock Wood in Kent to create and capture those priceless moments between a child and Father Christmas.

Father Christmas and his friendly elves will be welcoming families, old and new, in his cosy study within the Hop Farm from Saturday 29th November until Wednesday 24 December 2014 on selected weekend dates.

Tickets are now on sale for 2014 and we are looking forward to Father Christmas returning to his temporary home at the Hop Farm, Paddock Wood in November.

Food and hot drinks will be available from the various concessions within the Hop Farm Family Park on weekends throughout November and December.

Booking a family visit includes meeting Mother Christmas and our elves, spending a magical time talking to Father Christmas about the children's Christmas wishes before receiving an age appropriate quality gift.  Also included in the ticket price is one professional glass framed family photograph of the family with Father Christmas (one per family).

Each personalised family visit will allow plenty of time to talk to Father Christmas before children choose their gift

The glass mounted photograph, children's gift and visit is included in the ticket price of £10.50 per child (adults are free).                  

“Our authentic Father Christmas visit was very well received last year at The Hop Farm, Paddock Wood and a complete sell-out said organiser Darryl Curcher. It goes to show that quality time spent with Father Christmas can be affordable for everyone.

“Children and families voted last year's Father Christmas experience as one of the best ever in Kent."

While you wait to see Father Christmas families can experience our new reception area within the Magic Castle which has a small make and take area where you can also buy a hot drink and an elf fairy cake!  Children can also write a letter to Father Christmas to post in the special post box.

We strongly advise booking in advance to avoid any disappointment for children expecting to see Father Christmas.  However, it may be possible to book your visit on the day, subject to availability.
