Santa's Enchanted Elf Journey at Whitehouse Farm Centre
Whitehouse Farm Centre · Morpeth, Northumberland · 21st November to 24th December 2026
About this event
Santa's Enchanted Elf Journey runs at Whitehouse Farm Centre in Stannington, near Morpeth, on 22 dates between 21 November and 24 December 2026. The farm park is closed to the public during the event, so only ticket holders are on site, and families can stay for up to seven hours on the day.
The day starts at elf check in, where children collect an Elf in Training Passport and post their letters to Santa. At your booked slot a tractor takes you to the Enchanted Woodland to meet the forest elves, help feed the reindeer, play the elf challenge games and see Prancer.
Next is Santa's cabin for a private chat with your group, then the tractor carries you on to the toyshop, where each child spends a golden ticket on a gift. Children also take home a letter from Santa and some Magic Hay.
The rest of the day is at your own pace: the Cuddle Factory to build a bear, the interactive show and Elf School, four times each, the Winter Wonderland, gingerbread decorating, the Castle Catapult tubing slide, play areas, indoor soft play and the animals. Children collect 12 passport stamps along the way.
By tractor to the Enchanted Woodland
A tractor and trailer carries families out to the Enchanted Woodland, where children feed the reindeer, play elf challenge games and see Prancer before a private chat with Santa in his cabin. The tractor then takes you on to the toyshop.
A bear, a gift and a golden ticket
Every paying child builds their own bear in the Cuddle Factory, spends a golden ticket on a gift in the elves' toyshop, decorates a gingerbread cookie and takes home a letter from Santa and Magic Hay, all included in the ticket.
Built for access and quiet time
The tractor ride and Santa's hut are wheelchair accessible, there are three sensory rooms to use as calm spaces and a Changing Places toilet, and with the farm closed to the public only event ticket holders are on site.
