Sundown's Christmas tickets to be released on 2nd September

Tickets for a highly sought after Christmas event in the East Midlands are due to go on sale from 2nd September, promising to deliver the ultimate festive event for all the family.

The Christmas Spectacular at Sundown Adventureland sees the nostalgic theme park for the under 10s transform into a majestic winter wonderland from 16th November to 24th December, with the park’s iconic ‘The Night Before Christmas Ride’ taking visitors on a journey through the enchanted forest before arriving at Santa’s home, ready to meet the man himself and his cheeky elf assistants.

The family-owned park near Retford, which is designed especially for under 10’s, will also be decked with thousands of sparkling lights and Christmas decorations to enhance the festive atmosphere, with a great range of seasonal food and drinks also on offer.

Debs Griffin, director at Sundown Adventureland, said: “Every year our Christmas Spectacular gets more and more popular and demand for tickets increases, which is so wonderful to see. It’s a pleasure to see some visitors return year after year, bringing new family members with them to witness the magic.

“As a family run business that’s been prioritising fun for generations, Christmas is the biggest event of the year and we know the importance of going all out to make it as memorable and magical as possible.”

Central to Christmas Spectacular, the purpose-built yet cosy Four Seasons Arena will be a feast for the senses, as it hosts the live entertainment shows, serves festive food and drink stalls including mince pies, non-alcoholic mulled wine and hot chocolate, as guests wait their turn to meet Santa and receive an early Christmas present.

Once guests have had their fill of festivities, the young and young-at-heart can make the most of the other rides, playparks and attractions for the rest of the day, including the firm favourites Jolly Pirate Boat Ride, Monkey Mayhem Driving School, Crash Landings, Lollipoppet Castle and Storybook Village.

“The rest of Sundown’s amazing spaces are open throughout the Christmas Spectacular, ready for guests to wrap up warm and enjoy the entertaining rides, adventurous play parks and indoor soft play areas that kids love whatever the weather,” added Debs.
