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.
Father Christmas Experience
This Christmas, step through the doors of the North Pole Station and board the Ransoms Express for a journey through snow, sparkle, and festive wonder. Meet the elves, decorate your own wooden gift to take home, and of course — meet Father Christmas who already knows your name and this year’s achievements.
Every child receives a beautiful book gift and a keepsake to take home.
Journey by a real miniature train to see Father Christmas as the magic returns to Ransoms.

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.


Santa's Sleigh
In our outside plant area, under the canopy, you will find Santa’s magical sleigh! Surrounded by winter foliage and a beautiful light arch, this is the perfect Christmas-time photo spot in Jersey. Sit down, drape a blanket over your legs, and fly away to the North Pole.

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!

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.

The New Year is all about fresh starts and mindful choices. From today, for the whole month of January, we’re launching ‘Peace Lilies for Parkinson`s’ in support of Parkinson`s UK Jersey branch. 🤍💙 For every Peace Lily sold throughout January, we will donate £1 to help Parkinson’s Jersey continue their vital work supporting our local community.
Not only do these beautiful plants symbolise peace and hope for the year ahead, but they are also air purifiers—bringing a breath of fresh air into your home for 2026. 🍃
Come see Carmen and Maria in our houseplant department and pick up a Peace Lily in support of Parkinson`s Jersey.
