In 2025 there is a maximum group size of 10 people

If you have a group of more than 6 people it is possible to book back to back slots in order to accommodate the whole party.

Depending on the total number in the group it may not be possible to all see Father Christmas at the same time due to the size of the room. However we will do our best to accommodate the group as much as we can.

We may suggest a particular plan for how the group is managed and Sam will do this with individual groups by email

If you have a group with more than 4 children it is likely that at the end of the session the quests will not be individually marked but instead we are going to focus on a group discussion of who makes it onto the nice list in order to make it less protracted and a lot more fun.

Do feel free to discuss this with Sam by email if you have any specific thoughts

in order to organise a group booking please email the date and approximate time you are looking for to Sam on magicalleystratford@gmail.com and she will advise on availability and assist you from there

Alternative please book two slots back to back (they must not have a time gap between them) in the same name please – especially if you are worried about missing a particular time and date
