Events · Christmas at Fairhill
Christmas in the Country
Santa arrives at Fairhill for the twelve days of Christmas, from Saturday 12 to Wednesday 23 December 2026. Get ready for a joyful, nature-filled Christmas as you bring the whole family for a day of wonder, warm memories and special moments in our beautiful native botanic gardens.
Visits with Santa
Bookable time slots across the twelve days, from Saturday 12 to Wednesday 23 December. Little ones meet Santa up close, making memories while you snap a festive family photo. Each child gets unhurried time with Santa, keepsake photo opportunities and a small gift from Santa himself. Parents and grandparents, siblings, friends and the family dog have all featured in the special photos.
North Pole Check-in
Every visit starts at the North Pole Check-in, where the Elves take your family's names, check the list twice and send you off into the gardens with your Christmas mission. It is the moment the day turns properly festive, and the first photo of the morning.
Mrs Claus' Bakery
Mrs Claus has been busy. In her bakery the children decorate a Christmas treat to take home, in the warm and slightly flour-dusted way that only happens at Christmas. Perfect for smaller visitors who like to be doing something with their hands.
The Elves' Workshop
In the Elves' Workshop the children lend a hand with the last of the Christmas making, and come away with something of their own creation. The Elves are patient, the glitter is generous, and every creation goes home exactly as its maker intended.
Christmas Adventures in the Farmyard
Christmas Adventures in the Fairhill Farmyard are especially heartwarming, with all your favourite animal farmyard adventures: cuddling baby chicks, walking our friendly mini goats, holding the guinea pigs and feeding the chickens and ducks. It is the perfect relaxed Christmas outing, and the most magical Country Christmas experience for kids, families and everyone who loves the festive season.
Christmas parties & private functions
Hosting a work or family Christmas party? Take a look at our Christmas Parties page. A Country Christmas function in November and December 2026 is the best finale to the year. We are also already taking bookings for Christmas in July 2027.
