Santa's Grotto is one of our most loved festive experiences at Dobbies.

Bring your little ones along to walk through the magical outdoor woodland, spotting the Christmas characters along the way.  

Then be welcomed by Santa himself, plus receive a special gift.

Should you wish, you can also purchase a lasting memory of your visit to Santa’s Grotto with a special photo. There is a reduced price for pre-ordering or you can also buy on the day.

Please select your preferred time from those available below.  

Santa has selected a range of toys, suitable for different ages.  You can pre-select an age appropriate gift for your child however the exact toy may vary on the day.

To give you peace of mind when booking, we have Book with Confidence. Find out more here  

Please note there will be no Winter Wonderland Walkway experience at our Aylesbury store this year.
