Each Saturday & Sunday - December 6th & 7th, 13th & 14th and 20th & 21st - we then offer our magical Santa's Grotto plus on Saturday 6th, 13th & 20th, Breakfast With Santa!
Santa spends his weekends throughout December in a winter wonderland located on our new mezzanine level right here at St Elvan's. Every young visitor to Santa's Grotto gets a personal meeting with Father Christmas, a gift to take away and can have their own "s-elf-ie" photograph taken, either by yourself or for you by one of Santa's elves
On Saturday mornings throughout December, we also offer our all-new Breakfast With Santa! Santa starts his busy weekends with breakfast together with his elves, here St Elvan's - and you're invited to join them! Attendees enjoy a wonderful sit down breakfast with Santa, filled with festive treats. It's a magical start to the weekend, not to be missed!
2025 Santa's Grotto and Breakfast With Santa tickets will be available from September onwards
