Santas Grotto Experience
Hayes Garden Centre – Ambleside
14th November to 24th December
The classic Christmas adventure with Santa and his elves
Step into a world of Christmas magic and make unforgettable festive memories with a visit to Santa’s Grotto. From the moment you arrive, Santa’s cheerful elves will be waiting to welcome you into their magic workshop, where they need a helping hand preparing for the festive fun.
Your journey will then lead you to the Grotto itself, where you’ll meet Father Christmas, listen to some of his tales and enjoy a magical moment together. Don’t forget to bring your camera, as you’ll have the opportunity to take your own photos with the man in red.*
Rudolph’s magic chimney will have a special present waiting for Santa to gift to every child, along with a personalised message from the Naughty and Nice Book.
Dedicated quiet sessions are also available for children sensitive to loud environments
