Santa’s Grotto

Dates (open 11am to 4pm daily):
6th and 7th December 2008 and then
13th to 21st December 2008 inclusive.

Each year Santa arrives for a visit to Longdown, taking up residence in his own special grotto where he welcomes visits from children of all ages.

This is a good time to see the animals in their winter homes and enjoy all the usual farm activities, including bottle-feeding goat kids and calves and handling small animals. The indoor play areas are also open at this time, so whatever the weather, it’s worth a visit.

Every child receives a gift from Santa and has the chance to tell him what they would really like to receive on Christmas Day.

Normal admission prices apply, with the only supplement being £2.50 for children under 3 who would like to visit Santa and receive a gift and £2.50 for child Season Ticket holders who would like to visit Santa and receive a gift from him. There are special reduced prices for groups of 15 or more - these must be pre-booked by phone in the usual way.
