If Drayton Manor at Christmas doesn’t get you in the festive mood nothing will.

Feed the reindeer, visit Santa in the Castle of Dreams, enjoy 4D Ice Age in the cinema, slide and glide in the mock ice rink and be wowed by the 30ft Christmas tree. Check out Thomasland decked out with pretty lights, rides for little ones and a show every hour that features the Fat Controller and incorporates realistic fake snow. There are mince pies and mulled wine to warm the cockles too.

Make the most of the Christmas lights by staying after dark when the place really sparkles and round off your visit with a firework display that kicks off at 6pm.

(While rides in Thomasland are open, there are only a handful of rides outside the train themed area running. Check the website for details).
