The area will have invitations to play based around the story of the week.

Shaving Foam Shenanigans

"Movember" begins with a day of clean shaving for facial haired folks up and down the country, but why let them have all the fun!

Pass the shaving foam and lets get silly! Craft your own foamy beard, make some foamy artwork or your brew a magic potion. 

Messy play never smelt so good.

Star Rails

After a gap of more than 12 parsecs, Stormtroopers in full uniform will again be patrolling the grounds and riding the trains of the Middleton Railway - a tiny outpost on earth of the Galactic Empire.

This is you, and your kids', chance to get up close and take photos with the battle hardened warriors from the Mos Eisley Misfits Garrison.

Visitors will be allowed in at 10:00 hrs after the Stormtroopers have taken up their stations.

Santa Experience at The Mansion

Father Christmas will be visiting The Mansion this year for a very special series of events!

Santa will be bringing his elves and a host of Christmas décor to transform The Mansion into his base during December.

Enjoy a short show of songs, jokes and stories from Santa Claus and his elf, a delicious festive party tea,  followed by a grotto visit with the big man himself where children will receive a gift.
