Paultons Park has announced the return of its Celebration of Christmas event.
The UK’s number one family theme park, home to Peppa Pig World, will be transformed into a festive wonderland from Friday, December 6 to Monday, December 23.
The park will be adorned with Christmas decorations and illuminations, while Peppa Pig World will see Peppa and her friends dressed in their Christmas outfits for the season.
Visitors will also be able to enjoy a special Christmas menu at selected food and drink outlets across the park.

A highlight of the event will be Santa’s Magical Wish Show, which promises plenty of singing and dancing for everyone.
The show will feature popular characters such as Billy and Belinda the elves, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Reindeer and Father Christmas.
Father Christmas will also be welcoming guests to his grotto for family photos and to meet his reindeer, polar bears and the toy makers.
To avoid disappointment, early booking for Santa’s Grotto is advised.
James Mancey, deputy managing director at Paultons Park, said: "At Christmas, we bring an extra special touch to the magic of Paultons Park.
"Families celebrating together is what the festive season is all about.
"Making memories with Peppa and George in their winter outfits and stopping off to meet Santa in his grotto are some of my favourite Christmas moments at the park."

Tickets for the Celebration of Christmas event can be pre-booked online.
Early booking is advised to avoid disappointment.
Santa’s Grotto is an additional experience, and park tickets need to be booked separately.
The park, which was opened in 1983, covers 140 acres and features more than 80 rides and attractions, including the Jurassic-themed Lost Kingdom and the new world Tornado Springs, which opened in April 2021.
In July 2020, Paultons Park was named the 10th best amusement park in the world, beating all other UK attractions.
It was also named the best-rated UK amusement park for the fifth year in a row in the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards.
Paultons Park is the only park to have ever received this award five years running.
