Kick-start the festive season with a visit to see Santa in his magical grotto.
🎄 Step into Elf Training Camp
Ticket holders will begin their adventure by joining Elf Training Camp, where novice elves can take part in a series of creative tasks and festive games designed to prepare them for their big moment with Santa. With their activity sheet in hand, children can decorate a gingerbread cookie to take home and complete playful, elf-worthy challenges. Once they’ve completed every task, they’ll be officially ready to join Santa’s merry team of star elves!
🎅 Visit Santa in his Grotto
On the ring of his bell, families will be led by the Head Elf into the heart of the grotto for a special audience with Santa. Children will have the chance to share their Christmas wishes before receiving a festive gift. Every newly trained elf will also be awarded an official certificate and badge to celebrate their newfound elf skills.
Optional Extra - Kids Story Trail, 'The Pony Who Dreamt of Being a Reindeer'. For a small additional charge of £4.50 (Free to Members), children aged 3–8 years old can ignite their imaginations while exploring the Garden. The trail follows a circular route and includes a prize. It can be completed before or after your Grotto Experience and is available from 10am-3.30pm.
Good to Know:
All visits to Santa’s Grotto must be pre-booked in advance.
Cost: £19.00, including Members (entry to the Grotto for 1 Child and 1 supervising Adult). One additional Adult can access the Grotto for £6.25. Tickets include complimentary entry to the Garden for the same Child and Adult.
