Santa’s Grotto @ Lauderdale House
Dec 6 @ 10:00 am – 5:30 pm

Every year a magical Christmas grotto springs up in Lauderdale House as the man himself (Father Christmas, Santa Claus, Père Noël, Saint Nick) pays us a special seasonal visit. Children of all ages are welcome to meet him!

Santa is very eager to see all of the good children this year! Enjoy free winter colouring-in pages (with coloured pencils to borrow) as you wait for Santa. When it’s your turn, you’ll be taken into our Long Gallery, transformed into a winter grotto with festive decorations, where you will meet Ken the Elf. Ken the Elf will accompany you to see Santa, nestled away in his cosy room, who will have a chat with each child before sending them off with a present.

 

‘One of London’s top five Santas’ (Time Out)

Christmas Singalong on the Tea Lawn at Lauderdale House

We’re thrilled to invite you back to the Tea Lawn this Christmas! Join us for some festive fun as we sing through seasonal favourites with the help of professional singers and our resident pianist, Stephen Hose.

This is an outdoor event, and chairs will be provided. Our café will be open selling holiday treats including mulled wine. We encourage wearing lots of layers and blankets, and make sure to bring wet weather gear if rain is forecast. Bring a lantern or torch along if you have one and help us light up the Tea Lawn!

 

FAQs

Are babies welcome?

We are happy for you to bring young ones! You do not need to book a ticket for children under 2 years old.

 

What if I don’t know any songs?

If you book a ticket, we will send you a PDF of the song sheet a few days before the show, as well as uploading it here. If you can, please download the PDF and use your phone or tablet to read it, as this is more ecologically friendly. If you can’t, not to worry, we will have hard copy carol sheets available at the box office to collect when you arrive.

 

Can I come on my own?

Yes! Everyone is welcome, whether alone or with family and friends.

 

Is it wheelchair accessible?

If you or your children are in a wheelchair please call us and we’ll discuss what we can do to make sure you get the best experience.

Where can I get free tickets?

Right here!

Whilst entry is free, we recommend booking to ensure we can accommodate for the number of attendees and please consider making a donation if you are able.
