Families to be transported on a magical journey to the North Pole this Christmas as Staffordshire farm park unveils its new look winter wonderland.

The National Forest Adventure Farm, in Burton on Trent, will be taking on the sights, sounds and smells of Christmas as families are transported to the home of Father Christmas for a very magical festive experience – complete with a New for 2025 enchanted ‘train ride’.

The North Pole Adventure, which attracts over 14,000 visitors each year, is a fully immersive Christmas experience which includes 10,000 square feet of indoor festive fun including a fully working traditional Victorian High Street, a magical talking polar bear under the ‘Northern Lights’ as well as carol singing snowmen, gingerbread decorating, elf fun and full access to the other activities at the 40-acre farm park.

This year the attraction will see guests board The Enchanted Express, an immersive train ride that will transport families straight to the North Pole Station. While there they will be able to explore the Victorian High Street complete with sweet shop and pub to enjoy warming hot chocolate, mulled wine and mince pies. Then help the Elves fix the toy machine to save Christmas and write their lists for Father Christmas, before sitting under the Northern Lights to meet the magical talking Polar Bear and sing festive songs with Silvermist the reindeer.

Then join the festive elves in the music room and try your hand at decorating gingerbread men with Mother Christmas before meeting Father Christmas and stopping off at the elves’ workshop to collect a gift.

Owners Ivor and Tom Robinson said it was important to create a truly magical experience for families looking for an extra special treat this festive season.

Ivor said: “Christmas is a very magical time of the year and we wanted to create an experience which truly captured the special spirit of the season bringing an immersive day of activities for the whole family to enjoy.

“The North Pole Adventure recreates the sights, sounds and smells of one of the most miraculous places in the world – the home of Father Christmas himself, the North Pole.

“It is great to see the delight it brings to families as they create special memories together while soaking up the festive activities.”
