If you’re looking to sprinkle a little extra magic on your festive season, Paultons Park – the UK’s number one theme park and home to Peppa Pig World – should be right at the top of your Christmas list. This year, the park’s Celebration of Christmas returns bigger and brighter than ever, with even more twinkling lights, festive shows, and extended opening dates that make it the perfect day out for families this winter.
For the first time ever, Paultons Park’s Christmas celebrations will run right through the holiday season, open on selected dates from 6th December 2025 to 3rd January 2026. Expect the park to be transformed into a sparkling winter wonderland, complete with hundreds of dazzling illuminations, joyful music, and a host of festive characters ready to spread Christmas cheer.
Little ones will love seeing Peppa Pig and friends dressed in their adorable Christmas outfits, with daily meet-and-greet opportunities in Peppa Pig World. Over at the Show Stage, Santa’s Christmas Wish Show brings the magic to life with singing, dancing, and appearances from beloved characters including Billy and Belinda the elves, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Reindeer, and Father Christmas himself.
And of course, no visit would be complete without a stop at Santa’s Grotto – where families can meet Father Christmas, pose for photos, and encounter reindeer, polar bears, and toy-making elves. The grotto will be open from 6th to 24th December, but early booking is highly recommended as spaces fill up fast.
Even after Santa returns to the North Pole, the festive fun continues. The park’s rides and attractions remain open throughout the Christmas holidays – from thrilling rollercoasters like Storm Chaser and Cyclonator to the spooky new Ghostly Manor indoor dark ride. And for younger visitors, Peppa Pig World’s winter décor is nothing short of enchanting.
Paultons Park has also had an incredible year, scooping 10 trophies at the UK Theme Park Awards, including the prestigious Theme Park of the Year title. With gold awards for Best New Attraction, Best Theme Park for Families, and Best Customer Service, it’s clear that Paultons has perfected the art of creating magical memories for all ages.
