Tips & Advice

  • Bring a warm coat and layers for a winter visit to Guildhall Square, as the listing does not describe an indoor setting.

  • Keep young children close while moving around the square, especially if you are visiting Santa’s Grotto together.
  • Allow some flexibility in your visit, since the listing gives no detailed schedule for the pop-up or grotto.
