Christmas is a magical time of year for many Farm Parks, especially at Mead Open Farm where the new ‘The Magic of Christmas’ experience is set to build on an already popular event. Delegates will have the opportunity to see the Christmas event in operation including the Naughty & Nice Challenge Walk through, Magical Enchanted Forest, Make a Bear Workshop and Reindeer Flying School.

There will be escorted tours of the farm park which includes indoor & outdoor play areas, Sky Trail and Sky Tykes high ropes courses and the recently opened new Magical Veggie Wood indoor play area and new restaurant.
