Tickets are now on sale for Enchantica’s Father Christmas Experience.
The experience will take place at Allerton Castle in North Yorkshire from 13th to 23rd December 2025.
This marks the first time the festive event will be held at the historic castle.
The experience invites families to explore Allerton Castle’s halls, decorated with festive lights and seasonal displays, while enjoying interactive Christmas-themed activities.
Creative Director Suzie Vaughan described the event as:
"More than just a visit to Santa — it’s a fully immersive Christmas experience where the magic of the North Pole comes to life right here in Yorkshire.”
This year, Enchantica is offering two programmes:
- Elf Training, for children aged 0 to 8, provides a playful adventure where participants learn the skills of becoming an elf alongside Santa’s helpers.
- Codebreakers Christmas, for ages 7 and up, is an escape-room-style challenge through the castle’s rooms, where families solve puzzles and crack codes to participate in an Elf Family Game Show with Father Christmas.
Enchantica is marking its 20th anniversary, having spent two decades creating immersive, family-focused experiences that combine theatre, festive storytelling, and interactive activities.
Suzie Vaughan said:
“For two decades, we’ve been creating experiences that bring families together in wonder and joy.
"To celebrate this year inside the beautiful Allerton Castle feels like the perfect way to mark the occasion — and we can’t wait to welcome families to share in the magic.”
The Father Christmas Experience will run for nine days at Allerton Castle, North Yorkshire, HG5 0SE.
Tickets are available online at the Enchantica’s website here.
