Storytelling with Santa
Children can write letters to post in a Christmas post box and drink hot cocoa before gathering in a log grotto. Santa leads a small-group interactive story session, visits with each child, and hands out small gifts. Visits finish with an opportunity for family photos with Santa, and tickets include full admission to the garden.

Tips & Advice
- Pre-book your timed session because spaces are limited and booking is essential to avoid disappointment.
- Arrive at the grotto 10 minutes before your slot so children have time to write a letter and enjoy their included mini hot chocolate.
- Allow for the five-minute walk from the entrance to the grotto, and start at the visitor centre, where staff direct visitors onward.
- Leave pets at home except for assistance dogs, the only dogs permitted at the event.
- Choose a relaxed session if fewer people would suit your group; these run December 12 at 10am and December 13 at 2:30pm.
Special Events & Promotions
- Santa appears on December 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20.
