Tips & Advice
- Book an eligible date to get the 10% early bird discount, which applies automatically at the basket stage but not on 12, 13, 19, 20 or 21 December.
- Drive in via the road alongside David Lloyd, because Google Maps can take you to the trade entrance instead of the guest car park.
- Make a full day of it, since your grotto ticket includes Hobbledown admission to the play barn, adventure play villages and zoo animals.
- Choose the Toddler Santa Experience for children up to five, as it is a shorter visit of about 40 minutes designed for little ones.
- Set aside a little extra for marshmallow toasting, which costs more on top of your Santa's Secret Village ticket.
