The festive calendar features the ever-popular Christmas Fairs, held over two action-packed weekends, where Santa and a cast of Christmas characters, including Victor the Polar Bear Santa spread the season’s goodwill.
The innovative park will be full of events for all the family and an unrivalled opportunity to snap up Christmas presents from over 100 stalls bustling with arts, crafts and gifts in a fully-heated marquee over the Fair weekends of December 9-10 and 16-17. The Fair is open from 10 am – 6 pm and pre-booked tickets are available at a discount on line prior to the event. The ticket includes both the Wildlife Park and the Christmas Fair.
“The Fairs are fantastic weekends for all the family with the Christmas market, fairground rides, Santa’s Grotto, live music and the chance to see some of the world’s most endangered and beautiful animals while enjoying the Christmas spirit on offer,” said Chris White, Events Manager, at the park at Branton, near Doncaster.
