Feel the magic up close with these spellbinding attractions
We love a traditional Christmas scene as much as the next, but with this year’s Mary Poppins inspired decorations and colourful, exotic Christmas decorating styles, we say have a little fun.
So add some circus inspired action to your Christmas tree this year. A little bit kitsch, but oh-so-lovely, we’re certain these bonkers baubles will become treasured heirloom pieces.
