Christmas at Marwell Zoo
The zoo runs a festive daytime visit and, on selected evenings, an after-dark Fire and Ice event with illuminations and live performance. Santa's grotto sits in the historic Marwell Hall and is a 45-minute experience that sells out early. Quiet, low-sensory sessions run between 10 and 17 December.
📅 20 Nov – 31 Dec
📍 Marwell Wildlife, Thompsons Lane, Colden Common, Winchester, Hampshire
