Father Christmas FAQs

Grotto tickets cost £17 per child. This includes:

• 1 x Magic Key on arrival
• 1 X Christmas Bell
• Meet and greet with Father Christmas
• Gift from Father Christmas

Siblings and friends are welcome in the Grotto at the same time but all children must have a ticket before entering the Grotto.

If you would like your baby to receive a present from Father Christmas and/or they are the only child entering the Grotto then you will need to purchase a ticket. If your baby is going in with another child and they do not receive a gift then they will not need to purchase a ticket.

We advise you arrive 10 minutes early for your slot. If you miss your allocated time slot we cannot issue a refund.

All tickets must be bought in advance. On the day visitors can visit the Visitor Centre to check availability, but we recommend buying in advance as tickets are selling fast.

All online ticket purchases will be emailed to you via the email address you registered while booking the tickets.
