Come and meet Father Christmas with his elves, step into a winter wonderland inspired by Avercamp’s 'Winter Scene with Skaters near a Castle', and enjoy a gift from Father Christmas to take home.
Avercamp's 'Winter Scene'
Journey with us as we get to know the characters in Avercamp’s little town having fun in this wintry scene.
Learn about the characters as they play, show off, laugh and fall over, all overlooked by the luscious pink castle that looks almost like a giant, iced Christmas cake!
Step into the picture by taking photos of yourself in our life-size seasonal scenes.
