What are the 12 Days Of Wishmas events?

We have 12 jam-packed days of exciting activities (and a mega Christmas party!) for all ages, from ice skating to skiing, pantomines to animal encounters and so much more. There’s something for everyone!

Come together for festive fun, meet others who have faced similar experiences, and let’s get excited about Christmas together.

Say yes to Christmassy family fun and get your spot today!

*Please note: Due to the popularity of these events, families can only book two events, plus the Christmas party, so everyone can have a chance to join in.*
