Meet Santa at St Nics!
Step into the magic and visit Santa in his candy-themed winter wonderland grotto at St Nics.
The grotto opens on Friday 28th November and will be spreading festive cheer right through to Christmas Eve. Don’t forget to bring your Christmas wish list!
📍 Location: Main Atrium, St Nics, Sutton
📆 Selected Dates: 28 November – 24 December – check all dates and make your booking here.
SEN Sessions – All sessions are open to SEN children, but the first four sessions every Sunday are quieter times while the centre is less busy. If this would suit your child, look out for the gold booking slots.
Bring the whole family, soak up the festive atmosphere, and make magical Christmas memories in the heart of Sutton. ❤️
