Claus for Celebration: Santa is Coming to Southside Shopping Centre
Santa Claus is coming to Southside Shopping Centre this Christmas, spreading festive magic in and around the centre.
The Wandsworth-based shopping centre is set to introduce a Santa’s Grotto, which promises to bring joy, wonder and Christmas cheer to families and children throughout the festive season.
Children can get in to the Christmas spirit at the one-of-a-kind experience which will feature crafts with the Christmas elves and the chance to decorate their own bauble, before heading to see the jolly man in red in his cosy Christmas cabin to share their wishes and snap a keepsake photo.
Each child will receive a special, age-appropriate gift from Santa himself and have the opportunity to tell him what they’re hoping to receive under the tree this year.
Southside’s Christmas grotto will be open every weekend from Saturday 30th November until Sunday 22nd December from 11am – 4:30pm, along with 23rd and 24th December, to ensure little ones can make all their last-minute requests.
SEND Sessions will be held from 10:15am -10:45am on Sundays throughout December. The sessions will run at a reduced capacity and provide a calm environment for customers to enjoy the experience.
Tickets for the 30-minute festive experience are priced at £6.00* per child, aged 0 – 10 years old. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Santa’s Grotto will be situated of the first floor of the shopping centre and will welcome walk-ups; however, it’s recommended that bookings are made online in advance, as this magical experience is expected to be popular.
