Santa’s Grotto at Hobbledown Heath

South London adventure park Hobbledown Heath is offering a whole host of festive fun for little’uns this December, having transformed into Santa’s Secret Village for the season, with twinkling lights, treat trails and a whole host of face to face experiences with Mr Claus himself. The main event is a Santa’s Grotto experience taking place on weekends throughout the month, and daily in the run-up to the big day. Tickets include all day entry into the Hounslow fun palace, festive cookie decorating in the Elves’ Workshop, timed entry to a meet and greet with yer man and a token allowing kids to claim a present. But we all know how frantically busy December can be, so there are a range of shorter experiences you can squeeze in around present-buying, office parties and school discos; the After School Santa Experience is an abbreviated version with entry to the Heath post-3pm, while Breakfast with Santa gets you a hot brekkie ahead of your meet-and-greet. Full details on all the different experiences can be found here.
