Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable, value for money experience which I would recommend. Written in the 1940s as a response to the rise of authoritarian governments around the world, Animal Farm is a searing and timeless examination of extremist. The gift from Santa was more than acceptable and it rounded off a wonderful experience.Įxiting the grotto, the ticket also gave you access to a pleasant dinosaur themed walk which took in various farmyard animals. The Santa was the most authentic character I have ever seen, his beard was natural and not one of the ridiculous false beards usually associated with Santa’s usually found in these grottos, he had a lovely demeanour too and was very convincing. The costumes were first class and they were extremely pleasant and helpful, a particularly pleasing aspect of the tour was the offer by the Elves to take as many photographs using our personal phone as we wanted, this is quite a refreshing change from the usual exploitation by the use of an ‘official’ photographer when you then have to pay extra. The staff were fantastic, from the controller of the Polar Express who greeted us at the entrance to the Elves who helped us on our way, Mrs Claus who read a Christmas story and right up to the main man himself. Although located in a very cold farmyard setting, which may have been a problem for the children had there been a queue, it had a wonderful traditional Christmas feel to it. read more Visited Santa’s grotto at the farm, I must say that we were very impressed with the experience.
