Tucked away on the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells, Aspens' Bluebell Café & Animal Farm is a real hidden gem and wonderful place to visit during the festive season.

Providing vital support and opportunities for individuals with autism, learning disabilities and complex needs, and their families, Aspens is a very special charity with community at its heart.

With all proceeds going to the charity and a host of events and activities on offer, here are six ways to get into the festive spirit at Aspens' Bluebell Café & Animal Farm in Pembury.

Buy Your Christmas Tree

Kick the season off with a visit to the Bluebell Café to buy one of Aspens’ beautiful Nordman 'non-drop' trees, perfect for filling your home with festive charm! Available in a range of sizes from 26th November, every sale supports Aspens’ vital work.

Visit Santa's Grotto

For a magical family experience, visit the big man himself in his festive grotto on Saturday 5th December. With bookings including a letter and special gift, as well as live music throughout the day, this promises to be a memorable event for children and adults alike.

Have Breakfast with Santa

For younger children, there will also be a breakfast with Santa on Tuesday 8th December. Designed for children under 5, this inclusive festive event includes a delicious breakfast in the Bluebell Café, festive activities, and a special visit from Santa and Mrs Claus.

Donate Pre-Loved Items

The lead up to Christmas is a great time for a clear out, and what better way to give back this festive season than by donating some pre-loved items to support the work of this brilliant charity. The Donations Centre is located opposite the Small Animal Barn near The Bluebell Café.

Discover The New Nature Trail

Pick up a free activity booklet from the café to explore the brand new Nature Trail through the woodland. Packed with nature-themed challenges, wildlife spotting opportunities and interactive activities, this is a brilliant way to spend time outdoors and is fully accessible.

Enjoy Some Festive Treats

Make a day of it by indulging in a delicious hot chocolate and mince pie from The Bluebell Café, before browsing the gorgeous selection of Christmas cards, wreaths and gifts available.
