The Perfect Christmas Experience
This festive season, enjoy the perfect Christmas experience for all the family. You will need to allow between 2 - 2.5 hours for the experience.
At this time of year, the Farm is transformed into a magical winter wonderland with twinkling lights, hundreds of Christmas trees and plenty of Christmas sparkle. A truly magical Christmas experience awaits!
Following on from the fantastic success of the last couple of years, this year's event will take a similar format but promises to be even more magical!
All Included in Your Pennywell Christmas Experience Booking:
🎟️ North Pole Check-In: Arrive at the magical North Pole where you will be greeted by our friendly Elves and checked-in! Collect your Christmas passport and get the stamps as you journey through our Christmas experience.
🌟 Live Nativity Scene: It's then time to journey back 2000 years, as the Christmas Nativity begins. Travel to Bethlehem to find an inn for the night. After finding a vacancy in our cosy main barn, experience a real manger with all the Pennywell animals looking on. The scene is set and the story of the first Christmas comes to life.

NEW and IMPROVED for 2024:
Based on visitor feedback from 2023, and some visitors wanting to spend longer than others enjoying festive treats and more, we have now moved this part of the experience to the end of your visit, so you can spend longer there if you wish. Our elves have also been super busy transforming this end of the farm into a Christmas village for you to enjoy!
