Visitors can travel back in time to experience traditional yuletide activities at Wildwood Escot this Christmas
From 19 December 2020 to 3 January 2021, visitors to Wildwood Escot can travel back in time to Christmas past, as the popular wildlife park opens up its historic Saxon village for a range of yuletide activities.
Taking a trip to the traditional yule of Britain's past, children can create Christmas wreaths, tree decorations and wood carvings alongside the Saxon villagers, and even make traditional jewellery in the village forge.
The animals at Wildwood are also preparing to welcome visitors back after lockdown with the wolves wearing their thick winter coats and the cheeky otters playing in their pool.
As well as enjoying the yuletide traditions, little ones can explore Wildwood Escot’s magic maze and adventure play, get up close with the many animals which call the park home and head home filled with fresh air and Christmas cheer.
Wildwood Escot received the ‘good to go’ seal of approval earlier this year from the national tourism board Visit England’s ‘know before you go’ campaign and has been approved to the highest covid safety standards.
Located just 15 minutes from Exeter, the enchanting Devon park and wildlife conservation charity is guaranteed to spark Christmas spirit in little ones and big kids alike.
