Chessington World of Adventures announces Winter’s Tail event ticket release PLUS new year-round Christmas themed accommodation
The festive spirit lands at Chessington World of Adventures as it announces the much-anticipated ticket release for its popular Christmas event. And for festive fans who can’t wait until November, the attraction has launched a fully-themed Christmas hotel room bringing holiday cheer throughout the year.
The one-of-a-kind accommodation has been created in response to growing consumer demand for all things Christmas. New research from Chessington World of Adventures reveals that over a quarter of Brits (29%) wish Christmas would last longer and over a fifth (21%) who plan their Christmas experiences are doing so earlier than ever this year. The research found that spending time with family (57%), Christmas traditions (41%) and the nostalgia that Christmas brings (37%) are the things people love most about the holiday.
Our nation of Christmas-lovers admits to extending the holiday magic by keeping Christmas decorations up throughout the year, with the most popular being fairy lights (21%), Christmas tree (15%), stockings (9%) and baubles (8%).
Chessington’s Christmas Room means festive devotees no longer need to wait for the most wonderful time of the year to enjoy magical family Christmas experiences. Sleeping two adults and two children, with one large double bed and bunk beds plus ensuite bathroom, the space features seasonal details including:
- Christmas Classics – the curated room includes twinkling decorations and garlands, floor-to-ceiling Christmas tree, Christmas crackers, hot chocolate and shortbread biscuits, and Christmas tunes jingling through the room’s speakers on arrival to create the festive mood, plus other seasonal touches.
- Extra Christmas Trimmings – the hotel offers a special ‘Stocking Filling Service’ for parents to surprise little ones with gifts. Plus VIP experiences* include an Elf Wake-up Call and Reindeer Encounter at the zoo.
- Christmas car parking space – the personalised reserved spot comes festively decorated to kickstart the Christmas cheer from the moment guests pull up in the car (or sleigh).
And from November, Chessington’s highly anticipated Winter’s Tail event will transform the theme park into a winter wonderland at the heart of which is the Christmas Village, where visitors will enjoy a silent disco, a meeting with Father Christmas, and a visit to the Enchanted Hollow: Toy Workshop to meet the elves who are hard at work.
Howard Ebison, Divisional Director (and Chief Christmas Cheer Officer) at Chessington World of Adventures said: “We love Christmas here at Chessington World of Adventures – so, there is ‘noel’ time like the present to unveil our Christmas Room offering year-round festive fun for families. We’ve worked hard to bottle the joy of Yuletide and create an experience like no other filled with seasonal touches for our guests to enjoy after spending a day at our park and zoo. What’s more, Winter’s Tail tickets are now on sale earlier than ever before, so families can start planning for memories to be made at Chessington this Christmas.”
