With over 12,000 tickets sold, this years Winter Wonderland is gearing up to be our biggest and best yet; including a 200 sq-meter ice skating rink, festive fairground rides, Santa’s enchanting Grotto, and an immersive reindeer experience. Notably, this year marks a significant milestone as we introduce our first-ever real ice rink, adding an extra layer of magic to the holiday festivities.
Stephen Leckie, CEO and chairman of Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels, expressed delight at the overwhelming response, saying, “We are already delighted with the response to what is set to be the biggest Winter Wonderland that Crieff Hydro has ever seen.” He added, “Ticket sales have been selling thick and fast, and as a result, the wonderland is firmly on track to be one of the best Christmas events in Scotland this year.”
Adding to the enchantment, our Winter Wonderland will host the return of the Crieff Hydro Christmas Pantomime, presented by TF Productions. Putting a contemporary twist on the classic fairytale Cinderella, Stephen Leckie emphasised the importance of the panto, stating, “No festive season is complete without a trip to the panto, and we’re thrilled to be working with TF Productions to bring a contemporary twist to this much-loved story to the stage.”
In tandem with Crieff Hydro’s Winter Wonderland, our sister company Highland Safaris will enchant visitors with its Christmas Experience every Saturday and Sunday from December 2 to December 24, 2023. The experience includes a ranger-led trail, a festive treasure hunt, and an audience with Santa at the Winter Grotto.
Richard Leckie of Highland Safaris expresses his enthusiasm for the Christmas Experience, stating, “Our Christmas Experience is immensely popular among visitors from Aberfeldy and beyond. We can’t wait to welcome them back for this truly magical experience.”
Tickets for Crieff Hydro’s Winter Wonderland start at £3, while Highland Safaris Christmas Experience tickets begin at £15 per adult. Additionally, Peebles Hydro, another hotel within the Crieff Hydro Family, has announced its own Santa’s Grotto Experience, commencing from December 3.
