We’re keeping a few secrets under wraps for now, but trust us when we say this year’s experience is unlike anything we’ve created before.

A Personal One-to-One Meeting with Santa

Every child deserves their own magical Christmas moment.
This year, families will enjoy a dedicated one-to-one visit with Santa in his festive grotto. With your own pre-booked time slot, there are no large group meet-and-greets – just a personal encounter filled with Christmas wishes and magical memories to treasure.

Build Your Own Teddy Bear

Become an official toy maker of the North Norfolk Pole.
Children will take part in a special Build-a-Teddy workshop where they’ll create their very own teddy bear to take home. Included within your ticket, this hands-on experience allows little ones to bring their new furry friend to life before continuing their Christmas adventure.
A magical keepsake and a lasting reminder of their festive journey.

Explore the Christmas Village at Your Own Pace

Christmas magic shouldn’t be rushed.
Discover a beautifully themed Christmas village filled with festive surprises, twinkling lights and interactive experiences. Wander through the North Norfolk Pole at your leisure, exploring different areas, meeting colourful characters and uncovering magical moments along the way.
Every family can enjoy the experience in their own way, creating a relaxed and memorable adventure from beginning to end.
