Discover the fairies in their secret hideaway Fairy Dell, listen to the giggles and whispers as you tip-toe through. Marvel in the splendour of the Edwardian Hall with the rooms dressed in all their festive finery. 

Mrs Claus & Elf Crafts

Visit Mrs Claus in the Hall, where she has taken up residency in the servants kitchen to decorate gingerbread people with our little guests.
