The 2.5 hour ‘Extraordinary Christmas Tale’ event includes face painting, storytelling, craft-making, and a meeting with Father .

It is the latest money-spinner , 54, who has previously hosted New York-themed office parties on his sprawling, multi-million pound plot.

Since , the heavy metal fan has also rented out his 189-acre estate for rock festivals, set up an Airbnb and a vineyard, and sold Christmas trees from his front lawn.

The HQ Events site says guests will be taken on “an unforgettable, immersive journey” and “create memories to last a lifetime”.

Children aged between two and 10 are invited to be “part of a magical adventure” on December 20 and 21.

They will follow the tale of a boy named Jack as he discovers the magic of Yuletide for the first time – brought to life by performers and storytellers.

Kids will then make and decorate gingerbread men with Santa’s helpers, before getting a surprise gift from the jolly man in the red suit himself.

Tickets also include unlimited soft drinks and two tokens for “Elfling treats”.

Adults – who pay a reduced rate of £29 – will enjoy bottomless coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cookies, plus a special family souvenir photo.

Concession tickets at £25 are available to the over-65s, NHS workers, and carers (upon proof being produced), while babies and toddlers under 2 years old go free.

The website adds: “The Extraordinary Christmas Tale is a truly magical event where your enchanted Elflings can experience the joy of Christmas like never before.

“A spectacular celebration, lasting two-and-a-half hours, designed to ignite imaginations and create memories to last a lifetime!”

Adrian’s is also hosting The Greatest Showman and Cirque du Soleil-themed on five nights in December at £112-a-head.
