At Santa's request, Bewl Water will once again be transformed this winter but with an all-new immersive festive quest for 2025. Families can expect twinkling lights, cheeky elves, and festive workshops, but this year's Christmas at Bewl Water experience goes even further, with a brand-new 3+ hour interactive journey where children become Cheer Champions, helping Santa and his elves to restore the magic of Christmas.
Children won't just meet Santa, they'll become Cheer Champions, taking part in live performances, interactive workshops, and hands-on festive fun, all designed to help restore the magical Cheer-O-Meter that powers Christmas itself. New for 2025, families will join Head Elf, Chingley in the Cheer Command Centre, decorate delicious shortbread in Mrs Claus' Bakery, create ornaments in the Elves' Workshop, prepare reindeer food for Christmas Eve, and write Quest reports in Dash's Post Office, before unlocking their very own present at the Toy Exchange. Then take part in a theatrical finale, where music, dance, and festive magic fill the stage!
More than just a quick hello, every Grotto visit with Santa is personalised to your family, truly setting this apart from traditional Grottos by keeping the magic alive.
Here are the highlights of the all-new Christmas at Bewl Water experience:
• A Personal Visit to Santa: More than just a quick hello, this is a private, personalised grotto experience both you and your children will remember forever.
• Theatrical Performances: Watch the story unfold around you as Santa and his elves guide your family through magical, interactive scenes where your family become part of the story.
• Hands-On Festive Workshops: From decorating biscuits in Mrs Claus' Bakery to preparing reindeer food for Christmas Eve, writing postcards in Dash's Post Office, or building decorations in the Elves' Workshop, children can get fully involved with every aspect of The Quest.
• Market Square Magic: Toast marshmallows over open fire pits, warm up with festive refreshments, and soak up the atmosphere under twinkling lights.
• Take A Visit to The Toy Exchange: Instead of being handed a gift, children will unlock the magic themselves by choosing a toy from Santa's Toy Exchange, a wonderful keepsake of their participation in The Quest.
