Santa’s Grotto & Festive Workshop is returning to The Bax Castle this Christmas!

After welcoming so many children to our grotto last year, we’re delighted to announce that Father Christmas and his elves will be returning to The Bax Castle this December — and this year we’re making the experience even bigger and better.

Every child will be invited into our festive workshop, where they can make and decorate their own special card for Santa before heading into his cosy Christmas living room for a private family visit.

There’ll be time to have a chat with Santa, take your own family photos and of course, every child will receive a wrapped Christmas present from Santa himself.

The Christmas fun then continues with our elves, making magical reindeer food ready to sprinkle outside on Christmas Eve and decorating a festive cookie to enjoy or take home.

Monday 21st, Tuesday 22nd & Wednesday 23rd December
Arrival slots available between 12pm–4pm

Spaces are limited and pre-booking is essential.
