✉️ The Festive Postroom at Newlands Bishop Farm 🎄 Step inside our festive-filled Postroom and take on a very special Christmas mission — because Santa is busy in his workshop… and today, you’re in charge! 🧝‍♀️✨ Before their shift begins, little helpers can clock in for the day, grab a Postroom hat and apron, and head inside our beautifully transformed tipi — ready to help Santa get ready for Christmas. With festive details at every turn, there are plenty of magical photo opportunities to capture those special moments. Once inside, families are invited to slow down, get creative, and soak up the magic of the season together. This cosy, joyful experience is designed for children to explore at their own pace while enjoying hands-on festive fun. During their shift, little helpers can: ✍️ Write and post a letter to Santa 🌾 Make reindeer food ready for Christmas Eve 📚 Curl up with heartwarming Christmas stories in Santa’s own chair 🎁 Practise present wrapping and weigh the parcels before they’re sent off to the North Pole New for 2026 - mission control room  Plus, see all our amazing animals on our Animal Walkway, included in your ticket, and for more outdoor fun, our sandpit area will be available to play in too! The Festive Postroom is a self-guided experience, running from 10am–2pm, and is suitable for the whole family to enjoy together. Tickets are per person and include all activities, materials, and festive accessories needed for a magical visit. We know Christmas can be an expensive time for families, which is why we’ve created the Festive Postroom — a joyful, budget-friendly Christmas experience focused on creativity, imagination, and making special memories together. While Santa won’t be joining us in the Postroom (he’s very busy in his workshop!), the magic is still alive as children help run the Postroom themselves. If you’d love to meet Santa in person, he’ll be making special appearances at our Breakfast with Santa events — tickets available now. 🎄 We can’t wait to welcome you for a magical day full of creativity, cheer, and festive memory-making.
