Wander through mystical woodlands, with every twist and turn revealing a new surprise for 2025. Explore enchanting wonderlands, meet the jolly Elves, and join in their workshops to help prepare for the biggest night of the year. Let your senses come alive with festive soundscapes, the sweet scent of gingerbread, and the vibrant colours of Bewl Water’s Christmas wonderlands, before finally making your way to Santa’s Grotto, where the true magic awaits…
Market Square
A table awaits you and your family in Market Square, where Santa’s Elves are busy preparing delicious food to help you refuel as you relax beneath the twinkling lights. Wrap your hands around a steaming cup of hot chocolate, or savour the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee or mulled wine. After the Elves serve up your favourite winter warming treats, indulge in a sweet dessert or toast fluffy marshmallows over the crackling firepit. Then, with your hearts full and your bellies content, it’s time to continue your festive journey.
Santa’s Grotto
The moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here. As you wander through the enchanting woodland paths, the Elves will guide you to the heart of Christmas at Bewl Water—Santa’s magical Grotto. Here, your personalised, unforgettable visit awaits, where Santa knows just what your little ones have been wishing for. Cherished memories will be made, and the true spirit of Christmas will come to life before all the good boys and girls receive a special early gift.
