Festive adventure for families in which Mrs Rabbit tells the tale of Peter's lost Christmas presents, children decorate gingerbread biscuits and meet Santa at Derbion.
The Peter Rabbit and Santa Experience runs at Derbion from 26 November to 24 December 2026, so it's on for most of the run-up to Christmas if you're looking for a family outing in the city. It's a walk-through rather than a sit-down show, which usually goes down better with smaller ones who can't stay still for long.
The experience starts in Peter Rabbit's cosy burrow, where Mrs Rabbit welcomes you and tells the story of Peter's lost Christmas presents. From there, the kids take over: they follow clues to help her search for them, and once they've tracked them down, they head out into a snowy forest through Peter's secret tunnel. That's where they join Peter Rabbit and friends to decorate gingerbread biscuits for the Christmas feast, and the whole thing finishes with a visit to Santa himself, who gives each child a gift to take home.
It's a fair bit more to do than just a quick photo with Santa, so it works as a proper afternoon out. The dates run from 26 November right through to 24 December, so you've got plenty of room to slot it in whenever suits you best. It's held at Derbion, London Road, Derby DE1 2PQ.
