About

At Hockerhill Adventure Playbarn, from Saturday 22nd November and every weekend until Christmas Eve, Father Christmas and his merry band of elves welcome guests to a magical grotto adorned with picturesque snowy scenes, piles of presents, special trinkets and is most importantly, festive cheer.

Families are entertained by the mischievous and chatty elves and meet with Father Christmas to share all their hearts' desires for the big day.

Once little ones have received a special present and divulged their wishes, enjoy a hot chocolate and biscuit-decorating, icing one-off designs on to a biscuit ready to savour once they reach Hockerhill's majestic play area.

Alongside the existing sessions, Hockerhill Adventure Playbarn will host a SEN Christmas session on Sunday 7th December from 10am – 12pm, suitable for children with additional needs and their families. The quieter session is designed to provide a more comfortable, supportive environment but still delivers all the festive magic.

Explorative play, embracing physical challenges and inspiring imaginations are at the heart of Hockerhill Adventure Playbarn. Admire the majestic indoor centrepiece in the form of a giant mock oak tree, which is modelled on the one that King Charles II hid in at Boscobel House as he fled the Battle of Worcester. Turrets, climbing frames, bridges, slides and look-out spots complete the main indoor structure, with the pedal go-kart offering an added adrenaline rush.

On the winding tarmac track, thrill seekers can channel their inner Formula 1 driver and set their best lap time. Also open in the winter months, the spacious outdoor area at Hockerhill includes zip lines, swings, slides, a sand pit and a bespoke toddler area as well as outdoor seating and picnic benches for those who don't mind the chillier weather.

A seasonal menu will be served at Hockerhill's cafe. It will serve a selection of warming soups and crusty bread, hearty toasties and sandwiches, handmade burgers and wood-fired pizzas, as well as festive treats to suit everyone's tastes including mince pies and other sweet treats.
