SKYLINE GANG PRESENT DROP
Countdown to Christmas with the Skyline Gang and their interactive Present Drop, a festive, feel-good experience full of fun and surprises! Discover our giant advent calendar, where each member of the gang has their own colourful window.
Ring the bell of your favourite character, and they’ll pop out to say hello and hand over a special gift. Don’t forget to snap an elfie (whoops, we mean selfie!) with your chosen character!
You can still catch Father Christmas every day at 5pm in the Skyline Pavilion in our magical Snowstorm show. And if it’s a festive photo you’re after, there will be plenty of character photo opportunities throughout your break, including a moment with Father Christmas himself.
Please note: You can book either our Father Christmas Express Delivery Experience or Skyline Gang Present Drop on the app – you will not be able to do both.
