The Magic of Christmas gets underway at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham this Friday.
The festive event will see visitors greeted by a Christmas tree fairy, before being led on a performance-based journey to a "magical village".
Guests will be entertained by actors and performers along the journey, as they pass through a series of five areas including an enchanted forest and a toy workshop.
Father Christmas will then welcome guests to the village where there will be carousel rides, "snow slides", a "disco igloo" and climbing walls.
Whilst at the village, visitors will also be able to watch a show featuring puppets lit by ultra-violet light, as well as various performances by choirs, aerial performers and tap-dancing reindeer.
The Magic of Christmas runs from Friday 14 until Sunday 23 December and is open daily from 10am until 7pm (last admission 5pm). For ticket prices, check the website.
