A TRULY MAGICAL CHRISTMAS AT THE

rare breeds centre
A truly magical experience for all the family, this season come and find Father Christmas and his
elves in their twinkling grotto, set in the heart of Rare Breeds Centre's beautiful 100-acre farm.
No family Christmas
would be complete
without a visit to see
Father Christmas, and
that is why Rare
Breeds' famous and
festive Christmas grotto
has become a muchloved annual tradition.
A heart-warming
family experience, it will
leave you and the
children feeling truly festive, and excited for that visit from the big man himself
on Christmas Eve.
You'll be taken to a traditional and magical grotto to meet Santa's
Elves and the rest of his friendly farm animals. There, you will be entertained
by the Naughty Snowman, who is sure to cause havoc and entice the
children (and you) into a Christmas sing-along.
The children are then invited to see Santa one by one, to chat about
who has been naughty and nice, and to receive a quality gift. You'll also
have a family photo opportunity with Father Christmas and the elves. Then,
prepare to be surprised, as magic snow will fall all around you.
Booking is essential, and a sell-out event year on year, early booking
is advised. You can book your tickets at www.rarebreeds.org.uk or by
calling Nikki on 01233 861508.

A Truly Magical Christmas will run
every weekend from 6th-23rd
December, with sessions held at

1.30pm, 2.10pm, and 2.40pm.

there's lots of festive entertainment
for you too. This includes:

• Featuring Mr Wong, the infamous
One and a Half Man Panto has
been entertaining the kids at the
farm for years, and now his wife
has joined in on the fun – hence
the half. Mr Wong will take you on
all sorts of exciting adventures
around the world in true panto
style. Oh, yes he will!
• On Saturday 13th December, the
