Father Christmas at Hamleys

Santa is sprucing up his Hamleys grotto this year, extending the festive fun to include a brand new elf workshop. Not only will you get to meet and greet Saint Nick himself, you’ll also get to rub shoulders with the hard-working elves that make his Christmas gift-giving possible. Of course, you won’t leave the grotto empty-handed – Santa and his little helpers will send you off with some of their handiwork to take home when your time in their company is up. Tickets go on sale on October 10. Santa’s preferred age of visitor is between 2 and 8 years old, but the whole family can tag along too. One ticket (from £55) guarantees entry for three people, and it’s £15 for each additional person, with a maximum of six allowed in each slot.
