SUMMARY:What The Ladybird Heard At Christmas
DESCRIPTION:It’s Christmas time\, and the clever little Ladybird is off on a festive adventure.

This time\, the dastardly duo are after the children’s Christmas presents\, and they’re ready to cause chaos before morning! \nLittle do they know\, the smallest creature will make the biggest difference. With quiet courage and a brilliant idea\, the Ladybird steps in to outsmart their scheme – with a little help from her farmyard friends\, of course! \nThis brand-new adaptation brings the world of the Ladybird books to life on stage\, packed with catchy songs\, festive sparkle and a dash of Christmas magic. From the team behind The Jolly Christmas Postman\, this festive delight is perfect for little ones and their grown-ups. \nWHAT THE LADYBIRD HEARD AT CHRISTMAS text © 2022 by Julia Donaldson and illustrations © 2022 by Lydia Monks\, published by Macmillan’s Children’s Books

SUMMARY:Father Christmas in the Tudor House\, Lamport Hall
DESCRIPTION:Father Christmas in the Tudor House\n5th\, 6th\, 7th\, 8th\, 10th\, 12th & 13th December \nCome and visit Lamport Hall’s Tudor House\, home to Father Christmas on 5th\, 6th\, 7th\, 8th\, 10th\, 12th & 13th December for a truly special Christmas experience. \nOn arrival adults will be given a warm drink and a mince pie whilst children will be given a sweet treat\, a Christmas card to decorate for someone special and the opportunity to write a letter to Father Christmas. Dependent on time\, the card decorating and letter writing can be completed in the Dairy (either before or after visiting Father Christmas) or\, if you prefer\, these can be taken home to complete.  \nOnce inside the decorated Tudor House and settled by the warming fire\, Father Christmas will come out to talk to the children as a group and have a story with the elves. They will then be called up individually\, or as a family\, to have a photo and receive their personalised nice certificate and wrapped present. The Tudor House session will last approximately 20 minutes. Children will visit Father Christmas in groups of 8.  \nOn the day\, families are welcome to enjoy everything the fair has to offer as well as their visit to Father Christmas including stalls\, festive food\, live music and themed entertainers. \nOn booking please make sure to accurately fill out your child's name\, age and gender so they can have a handpicked\, wrapped and named present and certificate during the experience. If the child attending changes\, please notify us with as much notice as possible so we can make the necessary changes to their gift etc.      \nPlease arrive 5 minutes before your designated timeslot\, so you can check in and adults can have their refreshments. Please allow enough time to walk through the market to reach the Tudor House in addition to this 5 minutes. \nAlthough the Father Christmas experience itself is inside\, queuing will be outside so do dress appropriately for the weather. \nAll tickets to Father Christmas are £20 per child and include access to the Christmas Market for one adult per child. Any additional adults can purchase entry for the reduced rate of £5pp in advance. You are welcome to enjoy the fair at any time between 10am and 4pm regardless of the start time of your session. \nAll tickets for Father Christmas must be purchased in advance. Advance bookings close on the Tuesday prior to the event weekend to allow the elves time to prepare! No tickets will be available on the door. \nIf you require more information please email enterprises@lamporthall.co.uk \nFree onsite car parking is available in four acre field. Parking will be on grass. Please use the Porter's Lodge entrance on the Old Road. \nWeekday Evening Sessions \nWe are also opening 4pm-7:30pm on the 7th\, 8th and 10th of December for after school sessions. Parking will be on hard standing and there will be no additional entertainment/market stalls like there is at the weekend sessions. These will be charged at £15 per child and all adults are free. The last session on each day at 7pm will be a SEND only session. \nPlease note the House and Gardens will be closed.
