Each child will receive a special, age-appropriate gift from Santa himself and have the opportunity to tell him what they’re hoping to receive under the tree this year.
 
Santa’s Grotto will be situated of the first floor of the shopping centre and will welcome walk-ups; however, it’s recommended that bookings are made online in advance, as this magical experience is expected to be popular.
