What's on in Bedfordshire
Father Christmas at Hogshaw Farm & Wildlife Park
23 November - 24 December
I asked about on a few Facebook groups for recommendations previously for where to meet Santa in Buckinghamshire. Lots of Mums mentioned the Hogshaw Farm & Wildlife Park and how great their children’s experiences had been.
Father Christmas and his team of elves will returning to the farm to gather Christmas wishes, check on the team of reserve reindeer and sprinkle some festive cheer across the Buckinghamshire countryside. Join Hogshaw Farm for a magical Christmas experience that the whole family can enjoy, with full farm entry included!
