Santa’s Grotto

Step into the magic of Christmas and meet the man in red himself at Ho-Ho-Hopetown!

This year, Santa Claus has set up his enchanting grotto right inside the historic Carriage Works – a beautifully restored railway building now transformed into a bustling elf workshop! Twinkling lights and a warm welcome from Santa’s little helpers await you and your family.

Each child will enjoy a personal moment with Santa, where they can share their Christmas wishes and receive a special early Christmas gift lovingly prepared by the elves.

Whether it’s your first visit or a treasured tradition, meeting Santa at Ho-Ho-Hopetown is a memory that will last a lifetime.

Included in your visit:

  • A magical meeting with Santa Claus
  • A beautifully wrapped Christmas present for every child
  • Time to take photos in the grotto
  • Entry into The Elves’ Giftworks Trail (no need to book an extra ticket for this!)
