Christmas Tea Party at The World of Beatrix Potter at The World of Beatrix Potter, Cumbria 2 — 10 December 2023 Tickets from £7.50 — Book now

Jingle all the way to the Father Christmas Tea Party at The World of Beatrix Potter’s spectacular winter wonderland. You’ll be dashing through the Cumbrian snow with a spectacular screening of the classic film The Snowman, and enjoying a cracker-tastic afternoon tea! We’re talking delicious sandwiches, cakes, tarts… mouths watering yet anyone? Little elves will even have a chance to sleigh ride with Father Christmas, and if you’re really well-behaved you might get a special festive surprise…

This merry event unfolds in the venue’s Laundrama party venue, just a snowball’s throw from the The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction on Rayrigg Road. The ticket price includes a pass to the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction on the day, a Santa-approved afternoon tea (get in touch beforehand about any special dietary requests), a special screening of The Snowman, a balloon and a gift, and a photo-op with the man, the myth, the legend, Father Christmas, for you to take home and stick in your scrapbook. All of this is bound to get you in the Christmas spirit – no Scrooge vibes allowed!

As well as all the guaranteed Christmassy fun, The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction in the Lake District is also a fantastic opportunity to step in the mystical world of Beatrix Potter, author and illustrator best known for the classic Peter Rabbit, among many other special tales we know and love. This magical recreation will take you on a journey through Peter’s world and special garden, while also meeting more of Beatrix’s much-loved characters along the way. Catch up with Jemima Puddleduck, Jeremy Fisher, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, Tom Kitten, to name a few! Watch out for that grumpy Mr McGregor though…
