The Machine That Goes Wrong
Penshurst Place & Gardens
Sat 3rd Dec 2022
As Christmas Day approaches, things are moving at a quick pace at the North Pole as gifts are wrapped, packed and stacked on the sled. Some plucky elves think they've discovered a way to increase time-efficiency and have installed the Super Neat Occasion Wrapper or S.N.O.W for short. A fantastic fantangled gift-wrapping machine that should cut the time it takes our elves to wrap all the gifts by at least half, until it all goes wrong of course!

The Machine That Goes Wrong
Penshurst Place & Gardens

As Christmas Day approaches, things are moving at a quick pace at the North Pole as gifts are wrapped, packed and stacked on the sled. Some plucky elves think they've discovered a way to increase time-efficiency and have installed the Super Neat Occasion Wrapper or S.N.O.W for short. A fantastic fantangled gift-wrapping machine that should cut the time it takes our elves to wrap all the gifts by at least half, until it all goes wrong of course!
