The next room has some seating and a television with a Christmas video playing.

Please note that we expect our phone lines to be extremely busy over the next few days. Please be patient as we try to take all of your bookings. Please also bare in mind that we have never fully booked any date within the first week of tickets going on sale.
We also don't have an answering/queue system on our phone so it may sound like the phone is ringing out, this just means that our team are engaged and we would ask you to try again.
We are looking forward to a new online booking system that will be in place for next year.
To book, please call 01355 236644 between 10am and 3.30pm.
Tickets are £8.50 per child, prepayment required.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
