Santa's Grotto
We've got a very special visitor joining us at at Churchill Square this Christmas
It's a race against time to get ready for Christmas Eve and Santa needs YOUR help!
From Saturday 30th November, you're invited to step into Santa's workshop where toy maker elves are on a mission to create 2.5 billion gifts for children worldwide. Christmas Eve is coming soon so it's all hands on deck, and your helpful hands are needed!
Pick a toy from the "Whimsical Wish List". Will you craft a bouncing robot or a cuddly unicorn? The choice is yours, little helper.
Once your toys have been completed, it's time to meet the big man himself. Watch Santa's eyes twinkle as he inspects your toy and grants you a Top Toy Maker!
Dash to Churchill Square for a ho-ho-whole lot of festive fun! And the best part? It's FREE!
It's going to be sleigh-mazing! 🎅🧝♂️🎁
Tickets are free and will need to be booked in advance.
A limited amount of walk in spaces will be available each day but these cannot be guaranteed.
