Due to space restrictions we ask that a maximum of 2 adults accompany per booking. Please get in touch via email if additional carers are required for your party. 

An Annual Pass is £11 (£10 without optional donation) for adults, £10 (9 without optional donation) for Concessions (Over 60S, disabled visitors*, Student Card Holders and adults accompanying Max Card holders). *Accompanying carers - Free.

You can buy your Annual Pass in advance online, as part of your event tickets, or on the gate (but make sure you arrive with plenty of time to do this on the day). 

About

Enjoy the magic of Christmas in a calmer setting with Festive Tales Relaxed Sessions. These sessions feature smaller group sizes and a quieter, more informal environment, perfect for families who would benefit from a gentler, more relaxed experience.

Step into a more gentle Christmas experience where children can meet Father Christmas, share their wishes, and take home an early gift.

Each 30-minute group experience (limited numbers for the relaxed sessions). includes a cosy festive story time, the chance to have your photograph taken with Father Christmas, and an early Christmas gift. 

You can also have a go at the drop-in, family friendly festive art activities in the Pop-Up Ashington Group Hut from 12-3pm. 

Festive Tales Relaxed Sessions begin on Saturday 5 December and continue every weekend throughout December, with extra sessions on Monday 21, Tuesday 22, Wednesday 23 and Thursday 24 December, before Father Christmas has to leave Woodhorn to deliver presents around the world.


What to expect

Each group session will have a maximum of 12 children.

To support adults visiting the Festive Tales Relaxed Sessions we have prepared a Visual Story. 

You can view and download the Visual Story here and we hope this helps you get the most out of your visit.
