- Book Santa visits and popular time slots well in advance, as they tend to sell out quickly.

- Consider visiting on a weekday during term time for a potentially less crowded experience, especially for the 'Santa's Cabin' visit.
- Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking on woodland paths, and dress in layers as the weather can be unpredictable.
- Check the FAQs page for the most up-to-date information on ticketing and any specific visitor guidelines before your visit.
