Magical Santa Experience 2024
Visits from 24th November to 24th December 2024...
Ho ho ho! The spirit of Christmas has brought Santa and his jolly elves to Denby Pottery Village, so come and join us for a magical experience with family and friends. Enjoy a personalised visit to meet Santa in his cosy cabin, receive an elf observation report and hand-pick a present from a large selection of gifts for all ages. Don’t miss out on festive games in the gardens with plenty of photo opportunities, too!
On arrival, follow the magical path to Santa’s Stop and meet your jolly elf, who will guide you to Santa’s cosy cabin in the Pottery Village Gardens:
"Visit our magical gardens,
be welcomed by Santa's elf.
Come with all of the family or even by yourself.
Can you spot Santa's footsteps?
You can follow them right to his door.
(Look out for the reindeer's carrots that are scattered across the floor).
I think Santa might be sleeping,
so you'd better ring the bell
And in case he doesn't hear,
then knock on the door as well.
And when Santa opens the door,
he'll know just who you are
He knows every child all over the world,
no matter how near or far.
Step inside the workshop,
where Santa keeps all of the toys
choose your favourite and it shall be yours.
Then you can have fun in the gardens,
and festive games you can play
Warm up with a mug of hot chocolate and take a selfie in Santa’s sleigh!"

Monday - Friday (off-peak): £18.95 per child.
Saturdays, Sundays, Monday 23rd & Christmas Eve (peak): £21.95 per child.
Babes in arms (under 6 months) do not require a ticket if they are accompanying another paying child (unless you would like them to take part in the full Santa experience and receive a gift).

To make the most of your experience, we recommend arriving up to 15 - 30 minutes before your booking start time (e.g Santa Experience booked for 9.15am will promptly start at 9.15am and finish at 9.30am). Sadly, any late arrivals cannot be guaranteed their visit as bookings are allocated in consecutive fifteen-minute visits. Unfortunately, this event is non-transferable and refunds cannot be given for cancellations.
Why not make your visit even more special and add a space for the additional Christmas Pottery Painting Session?
Please select your entry tickets from the available session times at the booking stage and then choose from our selection of pottery shapes on the day (prices start from £8). Your £2.50 per person entry ticket cost will be deducted from your final activity price.
EXTRAS: Hot Chocolate and Christmas Cookie. Please collect your voucher at Santa’s Stop to enjoy before 4pm on the day of your Santa Experience.

Santa's elves have hidden pictures of their festive friends around Denby Pottery Village, see if you can find them all and collect a sweet treat at the end. Tickets are £3 per child and must be purchased in conjunction with a child's Santa Experience ticket (subject to availability).
Whilst you’re here, take a photo with friends and family at the festive photo point. Tag us on Facebook at @VisitDenby or on Instagram @denbypotteryvillage for a chance to be featured on our socials.
