Family Christmas!

For more than 30 years we have truly cherished sharing our family-run farm park each Christmas with multiple generations from across Sussex, Surrey and the whole of the South, and this year we hope to be the most magical of all!

Join us in making the most incredible memories with your families and celebrating this Christmas season with Fishers Farm Park’s spectacular "Festive Fishers" event! The best Christmas day out since sliced (ginger)bread!
Wishing you the most magical family Christmas,

from Our family to Yours.

Santa's Grotto

Watch the magic unfold as you are welcomed by real elves through the enchanting Christmas grotto! Join in the fun with some gingerbread decorating, Reindeer Food creation-station, then on to 'Elf Security' to check you're on the nice list! Wind your way through the twinkly winter scenes, until you reach a very special door, where the real Father Christmas will be delighted to see you!

Santa's Toy Store

Following your heart-warming encounter with Father Christmas, the cheeky elves invite you through his twinkly winter wonderland where the most spectacular sight will be revealed! A jaw-dropping array, from floor to ceiling, of toys and games igniting tremendous excitement for the little ones, as they choose their very own Christmas gift from the genuine North Pole Toy Store.

The clock is ticking! (Oh yes it is!) Book your tickets soon to enjoy this magical festive favourite, guaranteed to have you cheering, laughing, singing and making life-long merry memories. Join Cinderella, Buttons and The Ugly Step Sisters as we tell this classic story with dancing, singing, and some traditional panto gags. (Tickets for our panto sell quicker than a pumpkin carriage! So we advise you to book early to avoid disappointment with this one!).

Plus FREE access to the rest
of the Farm Park!

Sleigh what?! YES! Festive Fishers tickets include FREE admission to Fishers Farm Park this Christmas! Relax with a delicious coffee inside one of our many indoor play barns, or wrap up in your winter woollies and jump aboard the tractor ride, a pony ride, or maybe the toboggan run? (Pretend you're in the Alps?!).

With more than 40 rides and attractions here, this is a guaranteed, 'festively-full' family day out this Christmas.

Children's Nativity

The little ones are invited to STAR in our famous interactive nativity (as featured on BBC News!). Enjoy dressing up as Joseph, Mary, a shepherd, a king, a star or even a sheep!
