Step into a world of festive magic and mischievous fun at Elftoria, the newest Christmas-experience offered by Drayton Manor Resort. For those looking to craft a blog post, this event offers plenty of thematic material — from immersive zones to seasonal dining icons — plus subtle tips to help visitors make the most of it.
What is Elftoria?
Elftoria is a brand-new immersive festive experience launching at Drayton Manor for the first time this season:
- It arrives under the tagline “Mischief Makes the Magic”, promising a mix of fun, playfulness and Christmas cheer.
- It’s set in the park’s Vikings area and brings a kind of “elf world” to life — from themed zones to character meet & greets.
- Attendees can either book it as a standalone experience (from £20 per person) or combine with the wider Christmas Wonderland offerings (from £40 per person).
For your blog audience (especially UK-travellers or families), this positioning makes Elftoria a timely option for a seasonal outing that blends traditional Christmas mood with something a bit more playful and unique.
What does the experience include?
Here are the major elements of Elftoria you can highlight:
- Christmas Tree Maze – wander through a festive maze made of Christmas trees.
- Snowball Fight Arena – fun, interactive zone where visitors can engage in a snowball-style (presumably artificial snow) activity.
- Live Pranking Workshop & Show – a stage or activity area where the elves (in the storyline) engage in mischief, letting guests join in.
- Elf Meet & Greet – opportunities to meet characters (“the UK’s favourite festive troublemakers”) for photo ops and interaction.
- Elftoria Slide – a themed slide attraction as part of this area.
- Festive Crafts & Activities – hands-on creative spots (likely aimed at younger children) to make or decorate something.
Additionally:
- The themed food & drink adds flavour: items include “Peppermint Prankster-Shake” (pink peppermint milkshake), “Spud Shenanigans” (roast potatoes with gravy & bacon, vegan option too), “Giggles in Blankets” (pigs in blankets with gravy) and “Elfie’s Christmas Cracker” (a Yorkshire pudding wrap filled with chicken, stuffing, roasties, cranberry sauce, gravy).
- Some of the park’s rides (in that area) will be available but are weather-dependent.
