Tips & Advice
- Pre-book your ice skating session, because sessions often sell out and a pre-booked skating ticket also gets you general entry for free.
- Get to the rink in good time before your session, since there is only a 15-minute changeover to collect skates and get ready.
- Book Santa's Enchanted Grotto ahead because demand is high, though walk-ups are still accepted when there is space.
- Leave snacks and drinks at home apart from baby food or formula, as bags are searched and outside food isn't allowed.
- Wear sturdy footwear, because the event is in a park and the grounds can get tricky after rainfall.
Special Events & Promotions
- General entry is free when you pre-book an ice skating session
- Promo codes run from time to time on skating and grotto bookings

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome as long as they stay on a lead the whole time. Be mindful of the noise and the crowds.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?
No, outside food and drink aren't allowed. Baby food and formula milk are fine, but tell security about them during the bag search.
What food and drink is there on site?
Local vendors in the food court serve everything from sweet treats to warming comfort food. The large licensed Christmas bar serves festive drinks and hot chocolate.
What do I need to know about ice skating sessions?
Each session lasts 45 minutes, and there's only a 15-minute changeover between sessions. Skating aids are available for both children and adults. Children aged 14 and over can skate without an adult, but the adult has to stay on site.
Can I take my own photos with Santa?
No. You can't use phones or cameras in the grotto. An in-house photographer takes photos, and you can buy them afterwards.
