WINTER'S TAIL

Meet Father Christmas in his enchanting grotto, and this year, wander through his top secret Toy Workshop to choose a present. Each ticket includes entry to the Grotto and for your children to meet Father Christmas at a ‘snow-cial’ distance. Following ‘Hands. Face. Space’, Father Christmas, while wearing gloves, will also regularly clean his hands with hand ‘santa-tiser’ and wear a festive face mask, which the Elves will ask you to do too.

Cheeky Elves have snuck into Mrs Christmas’ kitchen for an early festive treat, causing all kinds of chaos! They need your help… sprinkle some magic to help clear up their mess and discover the ingredients for the perfect Christmas cookies to take home. Children will get a FREE pre-wrapped cookie and grown-ups will get a FREE hot drink and snack.

Access to the Magical Christmas Kitchen is included in all Winter's Tail tickets. 

Oh no it isn’t, oh yes it is! The brand new WILD CHRISTMAS PANTO is coming to Chessington’s Winters Tail this year, with a special guest appearance from The Gruffalo! Get ready to boo, cheer and dance your way into the festive season with this winter spectacular at The Mane stage, with empty rows left between you and other Adventurers to help with social distancing.

The Wild Christmas Panto is included in your Winter's Tail tickets!

Christmas is fast approaching, and excitement is stirring amongst the young elephants for the big day! This year Elmer has an extra special treat in store… Join us on The Mini Stage this year, where our favourite patchwork elephant stars in his very own festive story as we bring the delightfully fun ‘Elmer’s Christmas’ book by David McKee to life - you may even encounter the hero himself from a ‘snow-cial’ distance!

Elmer's Christmas - Story Time is included in your Winter's Tail tickets!
