Tilgate Park’s Magical Christmas has returned to the Walled Garden for another year of exciting activities for all the family.
Santa is already fully booked for his scheduled appearances, but there is still half-price entry to Tilgate Nature Centre amongst the promotions this weekend, and from December 16 to 22. Although you might have missed out on seeing Santa, there’s still a chance to see the resident Tilgate reindeer.
There are also various activities including free short shows and games for children provided by a theatre company, part of the forest transformed into a winter wonderland, plus a crafts and food fair.
The opening weekend of Magical Christmas at Tilgate Park was everything we have come to expect from this fabulous venue, and the rest of the programmed dates look equally busy. Santa and the staff are looking forward to thousands of people passing through the doors in the next few weeks, and I’ll take this chance to wish the Tilgate staff and all our residents and visitors a very happy Christmas.
