The Arboretum hosts An Evening with Santa (available on selected days). A magical event for the whole family to enjoy, where guests can enjoy a festive dinner with a visit to each table from Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves. Afterwards explore the magical, illuminated winter garden! Follow the winding paths to find the way to the real reindeer all the way from Lapland!  What a beautiful and exciting wonderland this will be! Who knows what cute creatures you’ll glimpse among the plants and trees! From delicate twinkling lights to bold neons, this will be a feast for the eyes.

Then it’s time for the big moment when each child receives a special present from Santa himself!

Embrace the whole experience – our playgrounds will be open and lit up and the maze will be lit up too. The Arboretum store will be open late and in full Christmas mode, packed with beautiful Christmas displays ready to inspire you. Come early and soak up the atmosphere with a hot chocolate or Christmas treat from the café. It will be like a big Christmas hug for the whole family.
