Christmas at Marwell

Check this page later in the year for news of our 2019 Christmas at Marwell event.

Make your family’s Christmas magical and join the elves in our enchanted world in Marwell Hall.

• Begin your enchanted experience by enjoying some festive refreshments
• Be charmed by Mother Christmas in Pirate Cove and listen to stories from Neverland - inspired by Peter Pan
• Create your own Christmas present bag in the elves workshop
• Meet Father Christmas and receive a special gift before posing for a professionally taken family photo

Your experience will last around 60-80 minutes and includes zoo entry*

To spread extra cheer, our  elves have starred in their very own festive take of the viral hit Baby Shark. Baby Elf, which can be viewed on our  social media channels, features a catchy backing track thanks to the zoo’s own workplace choir and follows a family of mischievous elves as they prepare for Christmas. 

We will also be encouraging guests to take #Elfies – selfies with our playful elves for a social media competition. To be in with a chance of winning a stocking full of presents, guests will need to upload their pictures from the Christmas at Marwell event using the hashtag #Elfie to Marwell’s Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. The winner will be announced every Monday from 19 November for the duration of the event.
