Whispering Winter Sessions 

At the heart of the festive season, we treasure the universal magic of Christmas. To ensure the ‘Dear Santa’ experience is a joy for every child. We’re introducing ‘Whispering Winter’ sessions which be exclusively for those with Special Educational Needs and Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

Recognising that a bustling grotto might be overwhelming for some, these sessions  will have The Grotto’s sounds gently muted, creating a calm and magical setting for all to meet Santa.

To ensure each child can enjoy the magic at their own pace, we will be welcoming fewer guests during each booking slot. Our jovial elves and Santa himself are devoted to making every moment special and are ready to adjust and convey their festive greetings in a manner that resonates with each unique family.
