Meet Father Christmas in Cambridgeshire's historic cottage

Summarised from Cambridgeshire Live's report · Updated 17 Oct, 19:57 · Archive

Wicken Fen is offering children the chance to meet Father Christmas in a 300-year-old cottage and receive gifts.

Wicken Fen nature reserve in Cambridgeshire is offering children the chance to meet Father Christmas in Fen Cottage, a cottage built around 1700 from locally gathered clay, peat and sedge grass thatch. The National Trust describes it as one of the last surviving homes of fen dwellers.

On arrival, children will make a Christmas craft with elves before entering the decorated cottage to meet Father Christmas and receive a present. Families can then walk the winter trail around the Woodland Walk, and the Docky Hut Cafe will be open for seasonal treats and hot drinks. The shop will also sell Christmas gifts.

Tickets cost £15.25 per child. The event runs from 29 November through December, and the National Trust said it is 'very popular and always sells out quickly'.
