Meet Santa and explore an enchanted forest at Sussex farm attraction

Children can meet Father Christmas for a fireside chat and receive a special gift, take a look around the elve’s workshop and explore an enchanted forest. Visitors will also be able to enjoy a short festive film.

It is all taking place at Sharnfold Farm - situated between Eastbourne and Hailsham at Stone Cross – which is staging its annual Christmas offering throughout December.

Donna Bull from Sharnfold Farm said: "this is a visit the whole family can enjoy and one that is sure to get you in the Christmas spirit. Our friendly Elves are on hand to guide you through your Grotto experience and may provide a little mischief too!"

A ticket grants you access to see Father Christmas within a 30-minutes visit. Capacity for each 30-minutes is limited to provide you with the best experience however you are urged to book online in advance to secure your desired date and time.

Donna, who lives in St Leonards, added: "Our wonderful team are working incredibly hard to bring some festive cheer this Christmas. We know it is a tough time for many people and we look forward to welcoming you all to Sharnfold to share in the magic of Christmas."

The Grotto is open December 2,3 and 4 and then every day from December 8 until Christmas Eve. Tickets are priced from £15 per child plus £1 booking fee. You can book here
