**Priority booking for Club members to 17 August**

Santa is coming back to Dobbies, and bringing lots of Christmas joy with him! 

11-24 December | £12 per child

You can experience the magic of meeting Santa and making festive memories that will last a lifetime.

You'll meet Santa within the garden centre, with children able to make the most of one-to-one time where they can share their Christmas wishes before receiving a special keepsake to take home. It's a wonderful opportunity to capture the excitement of the season and enjoy a memorable, family experience. 

Please note, Meet Santa differs from our Santa's Grotto as it takes place within the main store rather than the immersive North Pole Village adventure. 

Event highlights

  • Children can spend time with Santa and tell him everything on their wish lists.

  • Capture the moment with professional digital photography.

  • Every child will receive a special penguin soft toy to remember the experience by and as a gift from Santa.

  • It’s the perfect pit stop during your Christmas shopping trip at Dobbies. 

Photography 
Professional digital photography is available, allowing the whole family to be part of the memory.
