Bassetlaw theme park welcomes back Christmas Spectacular event

Running on selected dates from November 19-December 24, this year’s event at Sundown Adventureland sees the opening of the Four Seasons Arena.

The new, purpose-built, indoor facility takes families on a picturesque festive journey before they meet Father Christmas in his grotto and reveal their magical Christmas wishes.

During their session, families will receive a warm welcome from Mrs Claus and her elves, before receiving a special Christmas gift.

Live entertainment will then be provided on the new stage, with the opportunity to purchase hot and cold snacks in the arena.

All tickets admit entry to the wider theme park, which will be transformed into a winter wonderland, with the annual Night Before Christmas ride also making a return.

Shaun Malvern, Sundown Adventureland director, said: “Relying on good weather and a marquee in the winter wasn’t always practical, so the new arena protects our visitors from the elements and makes the experience even more enjoyable. It’s going to make a huge difference all year round.

“A year in the making by local tradespeople, the arena is a one-stop-shop for all things Christmas with the entrance to the Night Before Christmas Ride, photography facilities, entertainment stage and an array of food and drink facilities serving crepes, hot chocolate and festive biscuits.”

Tickets, priced £21 for adults and £25 for children, which includes a session with Father Christmas, a gift and access to the rest of the theme park, must be booked.
