Farmer Ted’s is transformed into a winter
wonderland each December – visitors can stroll
down magical high street Candy Cane Lane to
discover an animated reindeer and donkey show
or enjoy a performance from the resident elf band.
Nearby, the Reindeer Food Factory will help you
make the perfect treat to leave on your lawn for
Santa’s reindeers.
Later, meet Santa in his workshop, write a postcard
with your festive wishes on at Elf School, build a
snowman and post for a picture in the Christmas
carriage! A 4D cinema will show Boris’s Christmas
Adventure, there’ll be real reindeer for you to meet,
and so many photo opportunities along the way.

Dunham Massey’s winter trail is one of the most
anticipated family attractions of the season. The
grand avenue will be replanted with gigantic
flowers, brought to life with light projections. Head
through vortex tunnels, see reflections made by
fire on water, and watch in awe as lights tumble
from the undergrowth in a spectacular show of
illuminations.
Your walk under the stars will be finished off with
spiced cider, mulled wine or hot chocolate as you
gather around the fire-pit to toast marshmallows.
For the little ones, a traditional funfair with a helter
skelter, Victorian carousel and more awaits; if you’re
lucky, you might even spot Santa and his helpers.
