Owner Donna Bull said: “We believe this will be incredibly popular. It is something very different and very, very special.
“It will be a truly unique experience of intimate magical wintry wonderland with a feast of festive film favourites.
“We have chosen 11 popular festive films and we think people are going to love them. Films to be shown include Home Alone, Love Actually, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Die Hard, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Elf, It’s A Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street and The Holiday.
But there is more fun on offer than simply watching a film.

Next, visitors can stroll through the mesmerising light tunnel that will transport them into the depths of the enchanted forest cinema space where they will watch the film.
Due to Covid, each filming is limited to 30 people but everything will comply with social distancing.
Guests will sit on giant comfy bean bags and there will be a bar with mulled wine, popcorn, gingerbread men and other drinks and snacks.
The attraction also has a whole host of family fun planned.

The North Pole Express post box will be waiting for wish list letters for instant delivery to Santa and there will be a surprise video call from Santa Claus in Lapland and presents for all the children delivered direct from the elves’ busy workshop.
As people leave, they will be greeted by a beautiful Christmas tree and lights display for last minute photos .
Donna said: “As you can imagine, this will be a wonderful family experience for the whole family. Everything we do will fully comply with Covid regulations. Please be assured of that.”
