Much-loved family destination Stockeld Park is getting into the Christmas spirit early this year.
Following the huge success of last year’s festive season, the park near Wetherby is investing £180,000 into new displays and equipment, building on the £150,000 invested in 2024.
The park is aiming to deliver its “most magical Christmas experience yet” - starting with the launch of their highly anticipated Gold Christmas Tickets, which go on sale tomorrow (Saturday).
These premium tickets offer full access to Stockeld’s Christmas spectacular, including the interactive Santa’s Grotto, the UK’s original first-ever walk-through Winter Illuminations, and a brand new festive stage show.

A spokesperson said:
“This year’s show brings a fresh sprinkling of festive fun as families are invited to join the mischief with brand-new park characters Cookie the Elf, Crumble the Elf, and Jack Frost himself in a performance of How Jack Frost Stole Christmas.
“Packed with laughs and Christmas cheer, the show promises to be a highlight for visitors of all ages.”
This year’s Grotto will see the introduction of Santa’s Sorting Office, where families will witness letters arriving from all around the world.
Along the way, children will encounter new interactive moments, including one of Santa’s elves hard at work trying to build toys.

Stockeld’s famous Winter Illuminations are also also back, featuring brand-new installations.
A spokesperson said:
“The illuminated trail winds through the park’s enchanted forest, transforming it into a glowing wonderland of twinkling lights and festive displays.
“And of course, Santa will be welcoming families into his magical grotto for a memorable meeting, complete with a special gift for every child.
“With all these festive favourites returning, and new surprises in store, the 2025 season is set to be the most exciting yet at Stockeld Park.”
The Gold Christmas Tickets go on sale Friday 27th June and are expected to sell out quickly.
