Father Christmas invites families to meet him in his new Grotto located in Froggies Indoor Soft Play Building at Knockhatch Adventure Park. Each child visiting receives a hand-wrapped present and time with Father Christmas. A virtual queue system operates during opening times, with Father Christmas taking a break between 1pm and 2pm to feed his reindeer. Park entry tickets must be purchased separately; Grotto tickets are for the experience only. Maximum group size is 10 people, and adults do not require Grotto tickets.

Events can change or be cancelled. Please check with the organiser before you go.
