Festive food, drink and live music
The Christmas cafe will be open with festive treats in the new lawn marquee. You can enjoy mulled cider, a variety of beverages and tasty stollen cake to get you into the festive spirit in the Rotunda Courtyard along with live music on the 29 and 30 November. Treat yourself to a special Christmas inspired pizza from So Much Dough or try their delicious wood-fired classic pizzas.
Meet Father Christmas
Children can have a free “meet and greet” with Father Christmas in the snow cave and write him a letter to give to him in person, with a chance for parents to take photos. Father Christmas will be saying thank you with a chocolate coin or a sweet treat for all the children and parents that pop in to say hello. Please note children will require parental accompaniment to take part.
Dog friendly Christmas fair
There will also be the return of Santa Paws…the Father Christmas for dogs, who’ll be delighted to wish your four-legged friends a Merry Christmas. Meet Santa Paws with your dog and family and take your own photo for just a £4 charitable donation to Northwood House Charitable Trust! All dogs receive a special treat and gift from Santa Paws too.
Car parking
If you're arriving by car, please use the pay and display car park in Park Road and enjoy a short walk up via Ward Avenue. You're also welcome to park at Cowes Enterprise College. Please note that there's no vehicle access via the Rotunda car park, this entrance is for pedestrians only.
