Events · Christmas at Fairhill
Christmas in the Country
Santa arrives at Fairhill on five special days: Friday 11, Saturday 12, Friday 18, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 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 on Santa's five days: Friday 11, Saturday 12, Friday 18, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 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 Baking
Mrs Claus Baking in the Terrace Bar: decorate your own Christmas biscuits.
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 presents
Looking for a present to put under the tree? Day Passes, Fairhill Memberships, a Secret Farm Tour and Gift Cards all make wonderful Christmas gifts.
