This Christmas, visit Babbacombe Model Village and soak up the festive cheer as the village comes alive with charming Christmas scenes by day and night.

As light falls, enjoy our magical illuminations, twinkling with Christmas sparkle and beautiful festive lighting and music that truly captures the season.

During the daytime, children can join in the fun with our Christmas Character Spotter Sheet. Keep your eyes peeled as you explore the village — can you spot all the miniature Santas and Elves hidden among the scenes? Every successful young explorer will receive a small festive gift.

Even more festive fun is included:

  • FREE 9-hole crazy golf with admission — perfect for the whole family
  • One FREE return visit within 7 days — enjoy the Christmas magic twice!

Make magical memories this Christmas at Babbacombe Model Village — where festive fun comes to life in miniature!

HOW TO VISIT -TOP TIPS – TWO OPTIONS –

Use our ‘One FREE return visit within 7 days’. – On your first visit ask admissions for information about our free return visit. Keep your original admission receipt safe.  You will need to show this along with a special voucher and your original card payment method (as one proof it is the same people returning).  You can use this to return any time within 7 days during regular opening to last entry times, enabling you to visit during the day and again for our illuminations, or vice versa.  Free return is non-transferable and conditions apply.

In one visit! As everything is miniature, some of the details in our models & scenes, the beautiful gardens and the ‘cute bug’ spotter sheet characters are not so visible after dark. We cannot floodlight the gardens too much as it will ruin the effect of all the tiny lights!  It is important to experience the village in daylight too.

Arriving before it starts getting dark, enjoy a daylight visit first, experiencing the model village in its finest detail. Have a game of Crazy Golf and enjoy the spotter trail.  Then go around again after dusk for a completely different and enchanting atmosphere. Why not enjoy a pizza and refreshments in between! You need to allow at least 2.5 to 3 hours. The lights come on at dusk. To enjoy the lights at their best, it is not getting fully dark until the last hour or so of opening, aim to stay until near close.
