Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 18 Oct, 13:31 · Archive

Fairytale Farm in Chipping Norton will debut an actor-led Christmas experience called Christmas with the Clauses in 2026.

Fairytale Farm in Chipping Norton has announced a brand-new actor-led Christmas experience for 2026, created in partnership with TaleGate Theatre Productions. The event, titled Christmas with the Clauses, will run on selected dates from November 21 to December 24.

The interactive experience takes families on a journey through Christmas HQ, where they will meet Santa, Mrs Claus and a team of mischievous helpers. Guests will help prepare for the big night with a series of festive challenges and activities. The adventure begins when visitors discover that the Cheer-O-Meter at Christmas HQ is running dangerously low, and they must complete tasks such as helping the Gingerbread Man with his Christmas story, adding wishes to Santa's tree, helping Mrs Claus recreate her missing reindeer-food recipe and taking part in reindeer games.

Nick Laister, founder and director of Fairytale Farm, said: 'This is a genuine step change for our Christmas event.' He emphasised that unlike many venues that offer shared visits to Santa, Fairytale Farm's remains a personal and private visit in its grotto. 'We want Christmas with the Clauses to feel personal, funny and wonderfully immersive from beginning to end,' he said.
