Tucked away in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, Bluebell Dairy turns into a magical winter wonderland from 29th November to 24th December 2025, filled with twinkling lights, festive fun and heartwarming family moments.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be immersed in the magic of Christmas. Each child begins their journey through a series of enchanting activities designed to make their visit with Santa extra special.
Santa’s Grand Entrance
If you’re looking for where to see Santa this Christmas, you won’t want to miss this magical moment! Gather together as Santa makes his grand entrance, appearing from a giant chimney in a swirl of festive magic. A truly heartwarming sight that fills little ones (and grown-ups!) with pure Christmas joy.
The Magical Toyshop
Children can step into Santa’s Toyshop and choose a special gift suited to their age and interests. The real magic happens when their chosen toy appears down the chimney in a puff of smoke. Pure Christmas wonder in action!
Create-a-Bear Workshop
In the bustling Elf Workshop, little ones will meet Santa’s talented elves and craft their very own cuddly bear to take home. Filled with Christmas spirit and love, it’s a keepsake that reminds them of their magical day for years to come.
Festive Live Shows
Get ready for laughter and excitement with two interactive shows — The Holly Jolly Husky Journey and The Great Reindeer Mission. Children help guide the characters on Christmas adventures filled with giggles, games, and joy.
Meet Real Reindeer
What’s Christmas without reindeer? Meet Sven and Oaken, our friendly real-life reindeer, nestled in their cosy festive barn. You’ll even have the chance to feed them their favourite winter treat – lichen!
Warm Up with Hot Chocolate
After all that excitement, relax in our Alpine Bar, where you can sip on our rich, homemade hot chocolate made from Bluebell’s very own milk – a true taste of the farm’s festive warmth.
At Bluebell Dairy, Christmas magic isn’t confined to Santa’s grotto. Your ticket includes all-day access to the Farm Park, where families can enjoy meeting adorable animals, exploring the play areas, and soaking up the countryside charm.
From feeding calves and meeting fluffy goats to saying hello to our Highland cows, every corner of the farm is bursting with festive joy. You can even toast marshmallows around the fire or enjoy one of our delicious seasonal dishes made by our talented kitchen team.
It’s the perfect way to make a full day of family fun — blending the magic of Christmas with the charm of the farm.
We’re proud to offer SEN Sessions on 29th and 30th November for families who prefer a quieter, more accessible environment. With reduced capacity and thoughtful sensory adjustments, everyone can enjoy the magic of Santa’s Enchanted Christmas at their own pace.
