Head to Kent Life in Maidstone for a festive full day out, with a visit to Father Christmas in his grotto, seasonal entertainment and farmyard fun. Highlights include browsing the sweet shop and toy shop, building your own Be My Bear teddy, an enchanting live show, a ride on The Jingle Express, decorating gingerbread (with a complimentary mulled wine or soft drink and mince pie for adults), and meeting the farmyard animals. Your ticket includes all-day access to Kent Life, so you can arrive whenever suits and enjoy the festivities at your own pace.
Please note: Be My Bear, feeding the farmyard animals and making reindeer food all carry a small additional charge.
