About

Christmas at Ho-Ho-Hopefield is back for 2026, bringing festive magic to Hopefield Animal Sanctuary. Follow the Christmas journey through the beautifully decorated Christmas Barn and miniature Christmas Village, meet Mrs Claus, visit Santa's Grotto and receive a special gift, before heading to the Toy Factory to build your very own bear. Children can enjoy gingerbread and hot chocolate, while grown-ups can tuck into a mince pie and mulled wine. Your ticket also includes general admission to the sanctuary, so you can meet Hopefield's rescued animals too. It's a Christmas day out packed with festive fun for the whole family.
