IT'S beginning to look a lot like Christmas as a popular York attraction.

Murton Park - home to the Yorkshire Museum of Farming, the Derwent Valley Light Railway, a replica Viking village and Roman fort - is being transformed into a festive wonderland ahead of Christmas.

Visitors will not only be able to meet Santa Claus in his Long House grotto - but take a train ride with Santa's wife, Mother Christmas, where they will sing songs, take part in an 'elf-ercise' work-out, and enjoy lots of fun and games.

Activities are signed using Makaton and all areas - including the train ride - is fully accessible to disabled visitors.

The fun kicks off next weekend, December 3, where families can enjoy a fun-packed day including making reindeer food, a tour of Santa’s village, writing letters to Santa, write a wish for the wish tree, visit the Magical Toy Shop and spend the 'North Pole Pound Note' that Santa gives them on a toy of their choice.

Olivia Jackson, Murton's marketing manager, said: "There will also be an elf show on the hour throughout the day – the elves are very cheeky and love to entertain!"
