As people start to prepare Christmas plans, with a lot more freedom than last year, the team at Craigies farm are hoping to impress customers with their biggest and boldest Christmas experience event imaginable.

Families can take in the Elf Who Saved Christmas experience on weekends within the dates mentioned and explore the mini winter wonderlands, where special encounters with Mr and Mrs Claus, as well as a very special elf may just make your Christmas before the big day.

The experience also includes a glimpse of Santa's workshop and an hour and a half play session at Little Farmers adventure farm park with a special Christmas gift from Father Christmas to take home.

As well as this magical event for kids, the elves at Craigies Farm are also working hard to provide festive food and drink to customers, for in-store and online purchase. People can expect a ton of home-grown and locally sourced produce like turkey and trimmings, homemade sweet treats, as well as a great selection of toys.

John Sinclair, founder and owner of the farm, said: "With a hugely anticipated festive season ahead of us, Christmas at Craigies promises to be bigger and bolder in 2021. We’re putting on an immersive festive experience with all the magical elements children and families love, from storytelling to rhyming, toy-making and playtime! We hope to help create a more traditional Christmas this year with lots of fun for all the family."

The farm shop café will also be open daily from 9am-5pm, with no booking required, as well as the little farmers café, although this required an entry booking. Craigies farm is also a cashless business.
