Enchanted pounces back to Knowsley Safari

Knowsley Safari’s illuminated festive extravaganza, Enchanted, is returning this winter, from Saturday, November 22 until Tuesday, December 23.

The popular festive event will be packed with an enchanting, shimmering trail, marshmallow toasting, rides and amusements, as well as festive food and drinks.

Knowsley’s popular Foot Safari will be completely transformed into a world of colour and festive fantasia, where young and old alike can create magical memories that will last a lifetime.

Visitors can explore an Enchanted Woodland, take selfies in neon geometric-shaped walkways – and for the budding actors in the family, perform in their own shadow puppet show for everyone else to see.

Enchanted favourites will also return, including the magical Winter Village, with crackling fire pits and popular marshmallow toasting, life-size light-up animals including giraffes, penguins, zebras and polar bears – plus, of course, Santa’s Grotto! Santa tickets are sold separately at £20 per child and include a Safari-themed cuddly toy as well as goody bag full of treats.

Helena Berry, head of marketing & sales, Knowsley Safari, said: “Enchanted is a popular festive tradition for many, and we can’t wait to share the spectacular illuminated animal trail, Winter Village and more with all our visiting families and friends.”

Access to Enchanted is from 4pm until 8pm, with tickets starting from £9.50, dependent on peak periods and special discounts for members. Under-18s and carers are free.

Guests are advised to book early due to demand via KnowsleySafariExperience.co.uk.
