About this Event
Santa returns to Fleet Walk with a Magical Winter Wonderland Grotto for 2026
Santa will be back in town this festive season, bringing a spectacular Winter Wonderland grotto to Fleet Walk in Torquay.
This year’s magical theme is “White Winter Wonderland”, where visitors will step into a sparkling snowy world filled with festive fun. The fully animated grotto will feature five magnificent polar bears, eight comical snowmen, eight playful penguins and four friendly Eskimos, creating an enchanting experience for children and families alike.
Santa’s elves have been hard at work preparing for the festive season, with beautifully wrapped gifts ready for children whose names appear on Santa’s Good List. Every child will have the opportunity to meet Santa in person, receive a special gift and take home a keepsake photograph as a treasured reminder of their magical visit.
The popular annual event is organised by the Rotary Club of Torbay Sunrise, with all proceeds supporting Rotary charities, including Children’s Hospice South West.
The grotto opens on Saturday, 21 November, followed by Sunday, 22 November and then it will be open every weekend through to Sunday, 13 December. Santa will then return for the final festive week, welcoming visitors every day from Saturday, 19 December until Christmas Eve, including Thursday, 24 December.
