Meet Santa, enjoy a husky sleigh ride and donkey rides for children!
WWT London Wetland Centre Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 December
Get into the festive mood at WWT London Wetland Centre’s wonderful winter weekend! Children will be thrilled to hop aboard for a husky sleigh ride, visit Santa in his magical grotto or enjoy a donkey ride.
Head over to our northern pine forest; Father Christmas will be ready to welcome families in his cosy grotto among the trees.
Children can take a sleigh ride with the huskies: they’re lovely to look at but also working animals, so kids can experience the excitement of riding on a sleigh pulled by these adorable dogs. Or perhaps you’d like a family photo taken with one of the huggable huskies as a special seasonal souvenir?
Or you can take a donkey ride in our meadow, with the donkeys decked out in their Christmas finery – it makes a great photo!
And join the Elves to help spread the Christmas spirit! They’ll be getting ready for the big day making decorations and small toys. Drop into their workshop throughout the day to help them prepare and to make your own Christmas gifts.
Come and enjoy the Christmas celebrations among beautiful surroundings. Take a stroll among the lakes, meadows and ponds of this wonderful winter oasis and then relax over Christmas lunch in our Water's Edge Cafe. By enjoying a festive weekend with us you're also contributing towards our vital conservation work in the UK and around the world.
