Visit Santa at Grimsby Garden Centre
Every Saturday and Sunday from 28 November
Santa’s clearing some space in his diary (between toy testing and mince pie quality control) and popping into Grimsby Garden Centre every Saturday and Sunday in the run-up to Christmas.
From 10am to 3pm, little ones can meet the big man himself, share their Christmas wishes and enjoy a magical festive experience for £12 per child including an early gift for each child.
And there’s no need to book, just buy your tickets from the till on the day.
Unlike many grottos where you’re ushered through in a big group, our Santa takes the time to welcome families individually. That means no shouting over twenty other excited children, no fighting for a spot at the front and no extra charges just because Grandma, Grandad or the grown-ups want to come along too.
Just your family, Santa and a chance to create some Christmas memories together.
Make a day of it
Once you’ve had your chat with Santa, why not stay a little longer?
Have a festive browse through our Christmas decorations, gifts and stocking fillers, then warm up with a hot chocolate and a festive slice of cake in The Potting Shed.
Whether you’re hunting for the perfect present, choosing decorations for the tree or soaking up the festive feels, there’s plenty to enjoy before heading home.

No. We offer individual family visits with Santa, giving your little ones the chance to chat with him without lots of other families sharing the moment. It’s a more personal experience and gives everyone a chance to soak up a little Christmas magic.
Santa is a very popular guy, especially as Christmas gets closer. There may be a short wait during busy periods, but there’s plenty to see around the garden centre while you wait.
Absolutely. From wide-eyed little ones to excited older children, everyone is welcome to visit Santa.
