Book now for magical Christmas Grotto as it returns to Hayes Garden Centre


Christmas lovers have reason to celebrate as Hayes Garden Centre’s much-loved Christmas Grotto makes its return to the Lake District store this year and tickets are selling fast!
Opening from 15th November, the centre promises a truly festive experience packed with cheer and activities to get everyone into the Christmas spirit. Santa himself will be visiting the garden centre with his elves, spreading joy to families and little ones.
Visitors can look forward to a magical experience from the very start, as Santa’s friendly elves welcome families into their festive workshop before guiding them to meet Father Christmas himself. Children will receive a special gift and a personal message, while parents can take their own photos* to capture the moment. A Photobooth option will also be available on the day for those who want to make their visit even more memorable.
Tickets are priced from £19.99 and include a festive activity trail, entry to the Grotto, and a special gift for each child. Under the new ownership of British Garden Centres, Hayes Garden Centre is delighted to continue its much-loved Santa’s Grotto tradition, offering one-to-one family sessions with Santa himself. To keep the experience truly personal and magical, all visitors, including adults, will require their own paid ticket to take part.
There is also a Quiet Grotto designed for children with Autism or additional needs who may find our usual Grotto overwhelming.
Keith Laird, Manager at Hayes Garden Centre, said: “We’re so excited to welcome families back to our Christmas Grotto this year. Santa’s visit always brings so much joy, and our team can’t wait to share the magic of the season with everyone who comes along.”
