Christmas in Tiddington


Take a trip to Magic Alley Stratford to experience the Christmas Grotto, and meet Father Christmas before the big day! Their Christmas grotto is filled with 10 different rooms, ending in an Enchanted Forest covered in snow. Each room has a chocolate factory theme, and you and the family will complete your very own Christmas quest to solve puzzles and meet the magical folk in the Grotto. Families will then meet Father Christmas and receive their special gift, before enjoying the fun of the snow filled forest
