The C Word
The leaves are starting to fall, the nights are drawing in and there is a definite nip in the air after our superb summer – Autumn is with us and before you know it, it will be here. Yes that big C. Christmas. Continue reading “The C Word”
Snow Way!
What a day!
With the snow there has been so much disruption to travel on the local roads and due to treacherous driving conditions we decided early on to cancel all special events today. Your safety is very important to us. The site did remain open all day for those who did brave the conditions as it would have been terrible to venture out and find us shut!
We apologise to customers who had planned to visit us today and may have been disappointed with the cancellations. Those of you who have booked either Breakfast with Santa or Ice Skating for today we have automatically moved your booking to the same time next Sunday. So if you had Breakfast with Santa booked for today (10th December) at 10am we have automatically moved you to next Sunday (17th December) at 10am. If this is inconvenient to you please let us know and we can re-arrange to another time/date.
Thanks to everyone’s understanding on this difficult day – Santa made it in (well I guess thats a sleigh for you) and a sprinkling of people came too, it was good to see you all.
#Thankyou #Snow #

Santa’s Grotto
An amazing response to Santa’s Grotto this year – and why not as his helpers have really pulled out all the stops for a grotto that is bigger, better and more beautiful than ever before. There is no online booking for Santa’s Grotto – and he will see every child that will wait for him. There’s lots of free activities for kids whilst they queue. Santa’s Grotto is open 11:15am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday. Each special child will receive a premium toy. Accompanying adults enjoy free entry.

We allow wheelchairs and pushchairs onto the ice rink.
This is often the very first time some of our guests have ever had the opportunity to go on real ice.
We just ask that adult supervision is available at all times and all wheels are clean.

We are independent and there is no harm in asking. You can ask for a smaller cup in our restaurant for instance, change your skates halfway through skating for a comfier fit (some people wear two pairs of socks and forget to up a size!), or that we can deliver bulky items to your ho-ho-home – just ask we’ll see what we can do.

A beautiful Festive Afternoon Tea is available in our Canalside restaurant during the week – and hey, if you are a bit of a bah-humbug then go for the standard Afternoon Tea, available all year, just without the Christmas cheer.

We were so touched by recent visitor 5 star ratings and lovely comments on Facebook that we offered 20 pairs of FREE ice skating tickets to those people. A lovely review takes seconds to write and benefits us immensely, so we are always pleased to receive them. It also puts the boss in a happy mood and we can offer more in the future!!
