On Saturday 19th November, Father Christmas will take up residence in his traditional grotto, which will then be open every day until Christmas Eve. Children can look out for a magical toy shop and toy soldiers, among the many enchanting grotto characters. For every child attending the opening of the grotto on Saturday 19th November, there will be an opportunity to receive a free chocolate treat. Entrance to the grotto to visit Father Christmas costs £4.50 per child and includes a wrapped gift.
Santa’s wishing well, will once again be raising money for the local Medway branch of Guide Dogs.
Children can also hand deliver their letters for Father Christmas and post them in our big red post box and collect their free, personalised reply back from the grotto elves.
