Tips & Advice
- Book your tickets well in advance, as this popular event sells out quickly. Have each child's name, age, gender, and interests ready for a smooth booking process.
- Consider visiting during the weekdays after November 20th for potentially fewer crowds compared to weekend dates.
- If you have a child with special educational needs, explore the dedicated SEN Grotto sessions for a more tailored and comfortable experience.
- Arrive with enough time to find parking and locate the grotto entrance, especially if you are visiting during peak times.
- While Father Christmas will chat about a child's interests, these details do not affect the gift selection from the Toy Workshop.
