Santa’s Grotto and Christmas Market set to return to Westwood Cross
Westwood Cross Shopping Centre has announced that Santa’s Grotto and the Christmas Market are back for Christmas 2024.
Located in the main mall of the centre, the popular Westwood Cross Christmas Market will return from Saturday 16th November, offering a selection of festive products from small, independently run businesses. Shoppers who are looking for the perfect gifts this Christmas are invited to explore the range of unique personalised gifts, toys, and trinkets, plus sample seasonal produce and handmade food items.
The Westwood Cross Christmas Market will be located in the Main Mall, stretching from H Samuel to Boots and continuing along the harbour wall opposite Hotel Chocolat. The market stalls will be trading from Saturday 16th November to Tuesday 24th December.
What’s more, families are invited to meet Mr. Claus himself as Santa’s Grotto returns to Westwood Cross. Open from Friday 29th November, until Christmas Eve, adults and children on the ‘nice’ list can meet Santa and receive an age-appropriate gift. Tickets are priced from £6.50 each, with all adults accompanying a paid child entering for free*.
Santa’s Grotto will be in the Sundial area of the shopping centre and welcomes walk-ups; however, it’s recommended that bookings are made online in advance as this magical experience is expected to be popular.
*Tickets for Santas Grotto are priced at:
Child: £6.50 per child + £1 booking fee.
Adults: Free with a fully paid child ticket (no gift).
Adults without a child: £6.50 + £1 booking fee (including gift)
