Christmas can still be Christmas for little ones this year, as one county attraction is transforming itself into a magical scene, complete with a wishing tree.
Groombridge Place near Tunbridge Wells will be running its festive attraction from Wednesday, December 16 to Christmas Eve.
The secret garden with its stream and wooden bridge will be transformed into a Christmas scene where visitors can see the wishing tree and children can add a wish to it.
There will be a one-way system in place to ensure social distancing is maintained.
And in the garden, visitors should watch out for Santa, who will be waving from his sleigh, accompanied by his naughty elves.
There will also be Punch and Judy shows at Crusoe’s World from Saturday, December 19 to Christmas Eve, which you can watch in your family group.
Groombridge has plenty of outdoor space for children to run around and burn off some energy, including the enchanted forest, with its giant tree and nest swings, and Crusoe's World with its giant wooden ship and a new slide for children to enjoy.
There are also bird of prey displays twice a day, featuring barn owls, hawks and eagles.
A family and friends’ ticket allows four people to visit for £25, as long as one is under 12.
A kiosk will be open at Crusoe’s World with a BBQ, sandwiches, snacks and hot and cold drinks.
