Festive activities

There are many fun and exciting things to do at Ransoms besides shopping.
Come explore all our festive activities, which are a permanent fixture throughout November and December.

Singing Reindeer

This year you will find our Reindeer in the Nordic building, which is located when going through the double doors on the left hand side of the kids toy area, then when outside turn right and you will see the nordic building.

Will you come say ‘Hi!’ to Santa’s Singing Reindeer? They will sing your favourite Christmas songs. You can visit whenever you want during our opening hours, no ticket needed.

The reindeer will be visiting the Garden Centre starting from 1st Nov until 23rd Dec.

Santa's Post Box

Do you have a nice letter for Santa, to tell him about how good you’ve been this year?
Or perhaps a wishlist? He will gladly receive all your post!

Just pop your letter to Santa in the post box in the Nordic building by the Singing Reindeer, and the Ransoms Elves will make sure it gets to Santa Claus in time for Christmas.

Pets Photo Corner

Make the best Christmas greeting card yourself this year, by taking a photo of your beloved pet in our festive pets photo corner!

We have prepared a beautiful little set up in our pets department. Just sit your pet down in, or by the Christmas sleigh and take a snap with your phone.

Don’t forget to tag us on Facebook or Instagram so we can feature your pet on our social media!

Take a photo with Santa

Another great photo opportunity for the little ones. Sit on the presents and take the sweetest Christmas photo to share with family and friends.

Don’t forget to share your photos on social media and tag Ransoms Garden Centre!

🧑‍🎄 Are you ready for Elf on the Shelf? 🧑‍🎄
The Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas tradition where a 'Scout Elf' visits a home every day, and then disappears again to reports back to Santa Claus about whether the children have been naughty or nice. In the morning, the elf is found in a new location, having moved overnight, often getting up to some harmless mischief. ✨

This creates a fun, magical game of hide-and-seek for children, and plenty of Christmas fun and giggles for the whole family! 🎀 Most families choose to start Elf on the Shelf from 1st Dec, almost like an interactive advent, but you don't have to do Elf every day, you can choose to do it only on weekends for example.

There is tons of inspiration on google and social media of elf activities, but these are some of our favourites. ⭐
What are some of the Elf of the Shelf traditions in your family? We'd love to hear! 🧑‍🎄

We have Elf on the Shelf, including the book explaining about the scout elves, accessories and much more to make this a magical and beloved new tradition for your family 🥰
