Wookey Hole's Winter Wonderland is set to return for another season, promising a festive experience for families, with Santa's grotto, a magical light display, and even a special appearance from Paddington Bear during Twixmas. Running from 23 November 2024 to 5 January 2025, this year's event is expected to draw crowds eager to explore Wookey Hole's transformed caves and seasonal entertainment.

The caves will be lit with over 100,000 fairy lights, creating a festive backdrop for visitors who will be guided through the iconic site, now turned into a winter spectacle. Children will have the chance to meet Santa himself in the grotto, where each will receive a gift from Santa's elves in the Toy Factory, provided by TY Toys – all included in the ticket price. A circus show, featuring a magical toy shop that springs to life, and a 4D cinema with a festive film, add to the packed schedule of activities.

In a special twist this year, Paddington Bear will arrive for Twixmas, offering families a post-Christmas treat from 27 December to 5 January. Paddington will be available for meet-and-greets following daily circus shows, adding a charming attraction for visitors looking to extend their holiday celebrations.

Ellen Ramsay, spokesperson for the Cottle Family, who own and manage Wookey Hole, said, "We're delighted to bring Paddington to Wookey Hole this Twixmas! His lovable character adds even more magic to our Winter Wonderland, and we can't wait to see the joy he brings to our visitors, young and old alike."

Tickets for Wookey Hole's Winter Wonderland start at £19 for children, £24 for adults, and £22 for seniors, with early booking recommended due to high demand. The full experience, including Santa's grotto and Paddington meet-and-greets, is part of the entry package, though Santa's visits end on 24 December.
