The Royston Crow has teamed up with Willows Farm Village, near St Albans, to offer one lucky person a chance to win a family day pass to visit Santa in his spectacular grotto (admits four, plus a free gift for children).

A Christmas day out at Willows Farm Village is bursting with magical festive activities and family fun galore.

Every child who meets Santa in his grotto receives a golden key to his toy shop where they can choose any gift they see from the stacked shelves – but that is just where the excitement starts.

Watch the Nativity Story, take a turn on Willows’ ice rink and visit one of Santa’s reindeer and a host of other animal friends in the farmyard.

Enjoy festive fun fair rides, acres of indoor and outdoor adventure play and a Christmas challenge around the farm village, where you will find the hidden reindeer cut outs to win a free box of glittering reindeer dust.

Take in the twinkling scenes of the Festive Wood Ride and do not forget to visit the Elves House to write a letter to Santa.

Willows magical memories are not the only thing you’ll have to remember your special day by, as all children posting their letter to Santa at Willows* will receive a free reply from Santa himself.
