Get ready for a truly magical festive season as Santa’s Secret Forest makes its debut in the North West this Christmas from Friday 21st November through to Wednesday 24th December. This unique experience is designed to embrace the joy of Christmas past along with more modern Christmas traditions, making it a truly memorable experience.
Santa’s Secret Forest is set to be the region’s most fully immersive, instagrammable festive adventure, nestled across 16 acres of stunning woodland at Orrell Hill Woods, Ince Blundell and promises memory making fun for the whole family.
Chief Planning Elf, Pixel will take you on a journey through a glittering woodland trail that leads to the heart of Santas Secret Forest to the Christmas Hub. Spanning over 30,000sq ft. this animated wonderland is where the magic truly comes to life. From the moment guests step into the spellbinding Grand Lobby, they will be greeted by Santa’s cheerful helpers and the fun begins!
Guests are then invited to board the Tinsel Town Express, a fully immersive, custom-built old-fashioned steam train, where passengers are transported through a dazzling winter landscape to the heart of Tinsel Town arriving at theSleigh Garage, a hive of activity with all the hustle and bustle of new age technology.
The adventure continues at North Pole Command—the high-tech hub of Operation Christmas. Inside this lively, interactive control centre, Santa’s elves are hard at work planning sleigh routes, monitoring weather patterns, controlling Santas ‘Naughty or Nice’ list and managing the festive frenzy with all the sights, sounds, and digital buzz of a real-life mission control. The journey continues with a stop at Santa’s Mailroom—the busiest post room in the world, where children can write their own letters to Santa and send them whizzing down a giant magical chute, straight to Santas desk at the North Pole.
From there, families will enter The Workshop, where the magic of Christmas comes alive. A behind-the-scenes look at Santa’s Elves hard at work crafting toys from the wish lists of children around the world gives an unforgettable glimpse into the heart of the magic of Christmas. Next, step into the mesmerizing Time Tunnel, where a nostalgic festive journey awaits you until you reach Departures, a twinkly North Pole style airport lounge. Surrounded by festive cheer, families will wait to board the Magic Elevators, which will transport them to Santa’s house for a meeting with the main man where they will discover if they are on his ‘Nice List’. Then it is back in the magical lift to make your way home to Santa’s Secret Forest where guests can visit Santa’s real Reindeer and the heartwarming charm of Merrywood Market. This twinkling woodland courtyard will be brimming with Christmas treats, seasonal surprises, and festive cheer, making it the perfect way to complete your journey through this winter wonderland with memories to last a lifetime.
