Sharing is caring!

It’s that time of year where we start to get busy planning our family Christmas days out. Festive experiences and trips to see Santa are popping up all around so where can you visit Santa in Liverpool in 2022.

Santa’s Enchanted Forest

Where: Shorrocks Hill, Formby, Liverpool

Your family is met by Santa’s head elf who tells you tales of the magical forest history.
Once you are captivated, you will be led into the forest as your enchanted tour begins…

We are still only allowing 4 families on each tour, providing a much more exclusive experience.

The fairground rides are NOT included in your ticket price this year, but we have reduced your cost to reflect this.

We advise you arrive 30 mins prior to your visit to enjoy these.

This year we have our all-new Elf workshop show, where you will receive your interactive brief from a theatre setting.

We see the return of our Candy house, with lazy Lou picking delicious candy from our giant candy garden.
Dancing Davina will greet the children in our purpose-built dance studio. She will treat you to a choreographed interactive routine, where we want to see plenty of Dad dancing please.
We have our very own reindeers for you to feed. Dasha and Dancer love to eat moss, and we will have plenty for you to dish out.
If all of that wasn’t enough, we have a production by 2 of your favourite princesses who will appear from a 20ft Ice castle. Yes, we even have our own ice castle within the woods.

Don’t forget our Elf school where children can watch a short film before seeing Santa.
Santa’s log cabin is bigger and better and finally, our covid friendly pic frame has been removed.
Children will receive a Santa’s Enchanted Forest sweet cone from Santa (vegan cones available)
If all that wasn’t enough, we have a giant human snow globe for you to enjoy after your tour, where you will be able, to capture your own photos under the falling snow.

All of this is included in your ticket price.

So join Santa and his Elves this Christmas, for the most theatrical, festive tour in the Northwest!
