Christmas at The Forbidden Corner
This December, step into a world of mystery and magic at the Forbidden Corner. This festive season we are open Every Saturday and Sunday up to the 21st (6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, 20th and 21st)
Here at The Forbidden Corner, we open our gates to all people wanting a touch of Forbidden Magic, along with a very special guest, Santa Claus himself!
Wrap up warm though as, Jack Frost often passes the gardens leaving it frosty and cold! For those visiting we recommend hats, scarf, gloves, and wellies!


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 festive lights through the trees to discover Santa’s grotto, hidden deep in the woods.
Santa himself will be waiting in his cosy hideaway, but not before you meet Pepper the Elf, ready to share stories, check your nice list status, and sprinkle a little extra sparkle onto your visit. You will then enter the Grotto where every child will meet Mr, and this year, Mrs Claus before leaving with a special gift and letter from Santa as a memory to treasure.
Just wanting to visit the Forbidden Corner?
We have also got a Christmas Quiz for those who explore the Folly, to get you into the festive spirit as you hunt for the answers. Keep an eye out for a very lazy Reindeer who has found the cosiest spot in the Folly for a mid-winter nap… Psst! They’re holding one of the quiz answers!
(Quiz included in Entry Price)
