Santa’s Grotto @ Lauderdale House

Every year a magical Christmas grotto springs up in Lauderdale House as the man himself (Father Christmas, Santa Claus, Père Noël, Saint Nick) pays us a special seasonal visit. Children of all ages are welcome to meet him!

Santa is very eager to see all of the good children this year! Enjoy free winter colouring-in pages (with coloured pencils to borrow) as you wait for Santa. When it's your turn, you'll be taken into our Long Gallery, transformed into a winter grotto with festive decorations, where you will meet Ken the Elf. Ken the Elf will accompany you to see Santa, nestled away in his cosy room, who will have a chat with each child before sending them off with a present.
