If you haven't yet seen the seriously magical Christmas Adventure, it is just the ticket for all the family to enjoy  - and the display is completely free! This year we've pulled out all the festive stops to bring you a spellbinding winter wonderland complete with a train ride and Santa's Grotto. Santa is now inside his wonderful grotto where he will stay until Christmas Eve!

Hop aboard the train for a ride through mesmerising woodland scenes, past a fairy pond, through a rocky tunnel and you'll end up back at the station - Santa's Grotto. Wander down the quaint cobblestone alleyway with magical shops, then stop and listen to the tales of the Storytelling Wizard and the Talking Tree. Then it's time for a ride on a colourful carousel, whoosh down a helter skelter, and take a walk through a magic mirror doorway.
