This Christmas, Dorset families are being invited to enjoy a very special festive experience as Mad4Animals introduces The Elf and the Owl.

Imagine your child's excitement when a personalised letter arrives before Christmas, followed by a visit from Trixie the Christmas Elf and her real owl companion, Twinkle.

During the 30 minute home visit, children will meet Trixie and Twinkle, receive a personalised Christmas video, enjoy a festive storybook and sweets, and have the opportunity for photographs and a supervised encounter with Twinkle.

Created by Dorset based family entertainment company Mad4Animals, the experience brings Christmas excitement directly into family homes, offering something personal, interactive and memorable.

Bookings are now being taken, with visits planned across Dorset and surrounding counties.  Families interested in securing a visit should contact Mad4Animals directly through its Facebook page.

For more information, please visit Mad4Animals.

Make this Christmas one they'll never forget!
