Visit Santa's Grotto at Vicar Lane
You’re invited to experience the magic of Christmas with a trip to Vicar Lane's cosy grotto to meet Santa!
Santa has travelled all the way over from the North Pole to spread festive cheer at Vicar Lane. For £8.50, every child will be able to meet the big man himself, plus receive a gift and certificate to take home as a momentum of their enchanting experience. Official photos will cost an additional fee.
Santa will be at Vicar Lane at the following dates and times, and there is no need to book. Please note that last entry to the grotto will be 15 minutes before closing time.
