I have loved the Very Hungry Caterpillar Book for as long as I can remember & it was one of the first books I ever read to Lily. To be honest she was really disinterested in it; I tried it a few times and she just didn’t take to it so we left it on […]

![[AD - PRESS TRIP] We were invited to Marsh Farm today for their Father Christmas Experience 🎅 On arrival we were directed to the barns at the rear of the site and told to check in at 'passport control'. The children were each given passports with stickers at the back that they could fill in after each activity. Stop one was the holding area waiting for everyone to arrive. The Elves were so welcoming and friendly and made the wait while everyone arrived really fun; and hopefully they all learnt something new as Mike taught them all to 'Dad Dance' 😂 Once everyone had arrived we were all taken through to a little mini theatre in the barns for a lesson at the ELF Academy. To use Lily's own words 'of course it was my Dad who ended up on the stage' 😂 Mike didn't have the Christmas spirit and couldn't make the bell ring so the Elves had to instill the magic of Christmas into him 🧙♂️. The children were all given magic wands to keep and use throughout the day.
After ELF Academy we went through to meet the snow elf and the kids did a magic spell to make it snow. I always wonder with things like this is Lily going to work it out and I'm never quite sure if she's taken in, but this time she 100% bought it as when we walked outside she said "look Mummy I even made it snow out here too" when she saw the snowy outdoor scene that had been set up ❤️ Next up was Mother Christmas who did some more magic with the kids and then they got to decorate Gingerbread.
After seeing Mother Christmas we were taken through to another room to wait to see Father Christmas. It was refreshing to be able to wait and see Santa sitting down whilst watching the children dance (or in our case dancing with kids 😂) rather than standing around in a long queue which dominates the santa experience at pretty much every other santa experience I have encountered so well done Marsh Farm! The kids are then called through by an ELF when it is their turn to see the big man himself. The kids loved seeing Santa. He gave the children hearts to stuff a Teddy & a voucher to choose a toy in the Toy Shop. We have all had such a magical day 🎅 #MarshFarm #IBelieve #TheFatherChristmasExperience @mars](https://cdn.shortpixel.ai/client/q_glossy,ret_img,w_200,h_200/https://www.happymummy.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
