POLAR EXPRESS 2017 EXPERIENCE IS NOW SOLD OUT
Set off on the tractor ride that is the Sumners Ponds Polar Express to Santa's Grotto.
You'll stop off to meet his elves in their workshop and make your own Christmas decoration.
Then it's on with the journey to meet Mrs Claus in her cottage while she shares tales of festive fun.
Finally Father Christmas will be waiting in his lakeside winter cabin to hear what you'd like most for Christmas. You may even get an early gift!
Each experience lasts approximately 20 - 30 minutes. Each child will make a Christmas decoration that they can keep, receive a chocolate from Mrs Claus, a small present from Father Christmas and a golden ticket to ride the Polar Express. Remember to wrap up warm - this event takes place outside.
