Santa’s Magical Grotto Experience
This Christmas, the magic returns to Spanhoe Lodge as we once again transform into a glittering festive wonderland, filled with laughter, thousands of twinkling Christmas lights and the irresistible scent of festive treats fresh from the oven.
Maddie the Elf is still busy at the North Pole training the next generation of sleigh-riders, but this year Cookie the Elf has taken charge of Santa’s Bakery! With festive treats to prepare and cookies ready for decorating, Cookie has been very busy making sure everything is ready for Santa’s arrival.
Your magical Christmas adventure begins from the moment you’re greeted by our merry band of elves. Before setting off along the sparkling light trail, make sure you stop and see Elf Jo, where you can write your very own letter to Santa, enter our Christmas colouring competition and get ready for the enchantment ahead.
Then follow the twinkling path through our frosty winter wonderland, surrounded by thousands of Christmas lights, until you discover the secret door to Santa’s Grotto.
Waiting inside is Elf Freya, ready with a big smile to welcome you into a world where wishes float through the air and a little bit of North Pole magic seems to shimmer in every corner.
And then comes the moment you’ve been waiting for…
It’s time to meet Santa!
Share your Christmas wishes, chat with the man himself and receive an early Christmas present. As Santa welcomes you with a great big “Ho, ho, ho!” and Elf Freya adds a sprinkling of North Pole magic, your family can capture those special moments in photographs to treasure for years to come.
But your Christmas adventure isn’t over yet!
Next, head into Santa’s Bakery, where Cookie the Elf will be waiting to help you decorate your very own festive cookies. And keep an eye out for Harry the Elf too — he’s still learning the ropes, usually full of cheeky giggles and never too far away when there’s Christmas fun to be had!
All year long, Santa’s elves have been busy making presents, hanging stockings, checking lists and getting the sleigh ready for its biggest journey of the year. Now Santa’s red suit is pressed, the reindeer are raring to go and Christmas cheer is filling the air…
The countdown to Christmas has truly begun!
A visit to Santa’s Magical Grotto at Spanhoe Lodge is so much more than simply meeting Santa. It’s a Christmas adventure where imaginations can soar, wishes sparkle to life and the sights, sounds and tastes of the festive season create memories to treasure.
And if you listen very carefully as you make your way through the Christmas lights…
you might just hear Santa’s booming “Ho, ho, ho!” echoing across Spanhoe Lodge.
Make an occasion of it
The festive fun doesn’t have to end when your Grotto adventure is over. Our restaurant and fully licensed bar will also be open, serving delicious festive food and drinks — the perfect way to complete your Christmas visit to Spanhoe Lodge.
