Isle of Wight, 10 October 2022: An exciting new all-weather experience is coming to Tapnell Farm (https://tapnellfarm.com, 01983 758722) this Christmas, titled Christmas at Tapnell … Saving Santa's Sleigh! 

This magical, immersive experience will take place in Tapnell Farm Park, alongside all its attractions and the wider Farm's other entertaining activities, making for a fantastic Christmas family day out. And the fun can even be extended to a short break by taking advantage of special offers at Tapnell's cosy cottages and year-round glamping choices.

There are fantastic savings to be made for locals and visitors to the island, too, with Tapnell Farm Park's Winter Season Pass.

Christmas at Tapnell … Saving Santa's Sleigh!  
The thrills start at home, once tickets for the Christmas experience Saving Santa's Sleigh have been purchased, when a letter from Hollie the Husky (top left) arrives inviting children to come and help her save Christmas. 

On the big day, families will step into an extraordinary Christmas story and journey through beautiful scenery to meet Hollie and other enchanting fantasy characters along the way. The 45-minute experience includes storytelling, puzzles to solve, challenges to complete, and new friends to make, as everyone gets busy ensuring all the presents are ready for when children wake up on Christmas Day. And little ones will meet Santa to be thanked in person for helping Hollie.

Saving Santa's Sleigh! takes place on various dates from 26 November-24 December, for ticket prices go to https://tapnellfarm.com/play/events/christmas-at-tapnell-farm.

Notes To Editors

Tapnell Farm was once one of the biggest dairy farms on the Isle of Wight, run by the Turney family for almost 40 years. Since 2012, it has been transformed by Tom Turney and his brother-in-law Tom Honeyman Brown into the island's leading eco-tourism business. Tapnell Farm is now home to the award-winning Tom's Eco Lodge and Farm accommodation, Tapnell Farm Park, Isle of Wight Aqua Park, Isle of Wight Football Golf and The Cow Restaurant & Bar. As well as providing pioneering glamping staycations and fun days out, Tapnell Farm aims to have minimum impact on the environment through its on- and off-site initiatives.
