Dashing into Swan Walk Shopping Centre, Horsham this Festive Season!!
Father Christmas has officially authorised a North Pole Flight Academy…
Something wonderfully unexpected has happened in the North Pole. After centuries of keeping his sleigh‑flying secrets tucked away behind frosted doors, Santa has granted special permission for a brand‑new Reindeer Flight School to open in Horsham, the first ever outside Lapland.
But why, we hear you cry? Because Christmas Eve is getting faster, the skies are getting busier, and Santa needs a fresh team of Elf Recruits trained and ready to help guide the sleigh through snowstorms, rooftop landings, sparkle‑winds and the occasional stray mince pie.
Straight from the North Pole, Turbo & Gasket, Santa’s most excitable (and mildly chaotic) Chief Flying Instructors are on their way with pockets full of magic and a stack of official Sleigh Licences for all who pass!
Your mission: Complete a whirlwind of silly, giggly, and all-round daft challenges to prove you’re worthy of your North Pole Sleigh Flying Licence!
Their mission: Train families in the ancient, magical art of reindeer flight!
During this fun filled experience you will be put through your paces in a whirlwind of silly, giggly, and all round daft challenges to prove you are worthy
of your North Pole Flying Licence!
Once inside families will discover:
- The personalities and powers of each of the BIG 9
- The art of steering the sleigh through blizzards
- Rooftop sneaking techniques
- Crucial midnight reindeer snack protocol (VERY important)
- An all-around exciting insight into the mad world of ridiculous elf antics
Every child graduate leaves with:
A personalised Sleigh Licence
- A hand-made bag of Magic Reindeer Food
- A Certificate
- A head full of festive nonsense and bragging rights for the entire elf community!
Plus the first 30 children to sign up will receive a surprise gift!
(This experience is not a Santa’s Grotto and Father Christmas will not make an appearance)

The Elves behind the experience!
This fully immersive family experience is brought to you by the creative imagination of multi award finalist local business Artifex Designs.
Layona (the blond one) and her team, including my awesomely Elf’tastic sidekick Jo, have been bringing the Magic of Christmas to life in large multi-room Santa’s Grotto experiences for over a decade for various Farm Parks and Garden Centres across the country. In fact, you’re on our website right now, so after you’ve joined the priority list or booked your tickets feel free to have a little peruse around and follow us on social media to see what we get up to the rest of the year.
“Since having my daughter it struck me that Christmas is full of fun for children, however I struggle to find different daytime activities for us to do together that don’t involve seeing Father Christmas multiple times, so the answer was simple… turn some of our popular Santa’s Grotto shows into full length experiences and bring to life the magic of the North Pole Elves.
I wholeheartedly hope you enjoy this experience as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to life!”
Layona
Media Partner Shout Out!!
