Squires Sheppeton: Meet Santa in his Magical Grotto
Meet Santa in his Magical Grotto 2026 at Squires Shepperton.
We will be hosting Santa in his magical grotto* at one of our participating centres from Saturday 21 November to Christmas Eve (Thursday 24 December), on selected days!
Step into our enchanting grotto and be welcomed by one of Santa’s jolly elves before meeting the man himself. Children can enjoy a lovely chat with Santa – it’s the perfect moment to ask those all-important questions!
Every child will receive a wrapped gift to take home along with a special ‘I’ve Seen Santa’ badge to wear with pride.
New for this year, as part of the magical experience, children can create their very own magical reindeer food! They’ll mix special ingredients together to take home and sprinkle in the garden on Christmas Eve to help guide Santa’s reindeer safely to their doorstep.
Capture the magic of your child’s visit with Santa with a special photograph taken in his enchanting grotto. Purchase a festive activity booklet complete with photograph when booking, to receive a discounted price.
We also have a Quiet Grotto specially adapted for children with additional needs, offering a more relaxed space (on Friday 29 November & Monday 21 December, 1-4pm)
*Not available at Chertsey, Cobham & Reigate
