Santa's Lodge at Ashford Designer Outlet

This festive season, Ashford Designer Outlet will open the doors to Santa’s Lodge from 28th November. Step into the cosy cabin for a 30 minute experience and meet the cheeky elves for some fun and games.

The tickets for our Santa’s Lodge experience are £5 per child. All proceeds will be donated to our charity partner of the year.

WEEK 1 - Santa’s Naughty or Nice List

Join Santa and his cheeky Elves for a fun-filled Naughty or Nice challenge! Watch as the Elves reveal giant cards showing different festive scenarios - from tidying your bedroom to refusing to share your sweets. Shout out “Naughty!” or “Nice!” and see if Santa agrees!

WEEK 2 - Santa’s Lost Songbook 

Oh no! The Naughty Elves have jumbled up Santa’s favourite Christmas carols, and he needs your help to put them right!

Sing along as the Elf swaps familiar lyrics for some very silly ones - can you shout out the correct word? Then, split into two teams and help create a festive beat, with one side jingling bells and the other making reindeer hoof sounds.

WEEK 3 - Reindeer Flight Academy 

Calling all aspiring reindeer pilots! Head to the Reindeer Flight Academy and learn what it takes to help Santa fly safely around the world.

Follow the reindeer flight paths, practise your take-off warm-ups and show off your best sleigh engine impression. But watch out - there might be a bird flying across your flight path!

WEEK 4 - The Toymaker Elf

Ever wondered how Santa makes all those toys? Meet the Toymaker Elf and discover the magic behind Santa’s workshop.

Learn how toys are made, then put your creativity to the test by designing your very own toy. Once your creation is complete, it’s time for some serious toy testing! See which designs get the biggest thumbs-up and discover which toy could be a future favourite at the North Pole.

SEND Sessions will be available every Monday and will be the first and last session of the day from 1st December to 22 December.

These sessions are designed for children who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), taking place in a quieter and calmer environment.
