Christmas Spectacular – the largest Christmas show in the country. Set in the magical surroundings of mechanical organs and fairground carousels, a

cast of over 130 performers deliver an extravaganza of non-stop singing, dancing, music, humour and variety. Thursford's Enchanted Journey of Light - Your journey will progress into the Santa’s Magical Journey Building, you will travel past the penguins and polar bears to the giant-sized teddy bears! Get ready to see how the elves have loaded Santa’s sleigh, then past the busy elves hard at work in the toy factory using the wondrous wrapping machine! Throughout your journey you’ll meet lots of fantasy land characters including the snowman family, make sure you watch out for their snowballs! Your journey continues as you venture outside to the Lantern Light Extravaganza, bigger and better for 2024 and with lots of new creatures for you to marvel at: a beautiful, breath-taking festival of luminous sculptures, from a fantasy underwater world to the wilds of the North Pole. Sana’s Magical Journey into Christmas – a trip to Santa will never be the same again with this truly unforgettable journey to the perfect Christmas memory. Back in 2024! April - September
