Read what our customers have to say about Storytime with Father Christmas at Hillier:
“…we went to the Story time with Santa and were so impressed! The organisation of the event was super, Santa was brilliant friendly and engaging. The number of people attending was perfect so Santa could talk to every child and the tea was perfect. Thank you for wonderful memories we will cherish forever.”
