Christmas at The Forbidden Corner
Every Weekend of December up to the 21st (6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, 20th and 21st). Step into a world where mystery meets magic this festive season. Hidden away in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, here at The Forbidden Corner, we transform into an enchanting winter wonderland, alive with twinkling lights, festive cheer, and just a touch of mischief.
From the moment you wander through the labyrinth of secret paths, talking statues, and hidden surprises, you’ll feel the spirit of Christmas blending with the whimsy of The Forbidden Corner. Every corner you turn brims with wonder, sparkling trees tucked into stone archways, Jack Frost dances through the gardens, and playful characters who can’t resist joining in on the seasonal fun.


Visit Santa in his Woodland Grotto
For an additional £10 on your entry ticket, young adventurers (and the young at heart) can follow the glow of lanterns through the trees to discover Santa’s grotto, hidden deep in the magical woods.
Santa himself will be waiting in his cosy hideaway, ready to share stories, listen to Christmas wishes, and sprinkle a little extra sparkle onto your visit. Every child will leave with a special gift and a memory to treasure.
Make it a Christmas to remember!
The Forbidden Corner has always been a place of secrets, surprises, and enchantment, but at Christmastime, the magic doubles. The playful trickery of our hidden world combines with the warmth and wonder of the season, creating a Christmas experience like no other.
