NEW – Storytime with Santa at Tingley Garden centre

Weekends & School Holidays Only

Step into Santa’s cosy cabin and settle down for storytime as Santa shares a heartwarming tale all about his festive friends counting down to the big day, magical moments that little ones will love.

Santa will invite each child in turn to share their Christmas wishlist and be ready to capture the moment as they pose for a picture with the big man himself before choosing a gift.

Absolutely fantastic, staff/actors are excellent and really committed. Staging is superb. Toy selection is excellent too. Plus adults are free. Been to a few Santa’s grotto and this one is the benchmark!

My Grandson had a lovely time, the displays, Santa & his elves were great, very enthusiastic & clearly had done their homework on kids tv. Great idea allowing the children to pick their own toy from a large choice, instead of getting some cheap toy pre wrapped. Will definitely be booking for next year.

Brilliant experience during our Santa’s grotto visit. Lovely place, reasonable prices and good food.

Had an amazing time visiting Santa. All his elves were lovely with the little ones, getting down to their levels to talk to them. The trip was very well organized and kept the children all entertained and the small groups made it personal. The toy work shop was a brilliant idea and my grandson loved being able to pick his own present from Santa rather than a generic age pre wrapped.

Wonderful experience for both young and old much more fun than a traditional visit to see the big man
