Christmas has come early at one tourist attraction in Cumbria, with Santa Claus in need of some drastic help.

Lakes Escapes launched their new escape room this weekend. The room, ‘Santa’s Lost His Marbles’, will give families, friends and workmates the perfect opportunity to have some festive fun before Old Saint Nick makes his way to our households on December 25.

Santa’s naughtiest elf, Trixie Sugar Socks, has been very naughty this year and just before the big day has taken Mr Claus’ marbles. She’s hidden them around your living room while you were sleeping and he’s not very happy!

As well as losing his marbles, he doesn’t know where he has put his magic dust, which makes his sled fly. He won’t be delivering this year without it. Visitors need to find Santa’s marbles and get his magic dust. When both are found, the party will have to hold the dust up and recite a magic Christmas rhyme to get it back to Santa on time.

He needs it within 60 minutes or Christmas is cancelled!

The room is available for families, although the minimum age for the experience is seven years.

Prices vary depending on the number of people in the party. For more information and to book tickets, visit www.lakesescapes.co.uk.
