Rufford Abbey Country Park
Price: £14 per child, includes gift from Santa
Step into the magic of Christmas at Santa’s Grotto!
Bring the little ones to meet Santa and create memories they’ll treasure forever. Each child will receive a special gift from Santa – a cuddly 10” TY plush to take home and cherish.
Tickets: £14 per child (includes gift). Two adults may accompany each child free of charge.
Dates: 28th & 29th November, 5th, 6th, 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd December.
Times: Bookable slots available between 9AM and 4PM on selected November and December dates.
Location: Santa’s Grotto is in the Stables Courtyard, accessed via the main entrance car park (NG22 9DF).
Spaces are limited and always in high demand – book early to secure your spot and avoid disappointment.
Please note: Only two adults may accompany each child into the grotto to prevent overcrowding. Tickets are required only for children who wish to meet Santa and receive a gift. Adults, and children not receiving a gift, do not need to purchase a ticket. If you would like additional adults to enter, please speak to the elf at the door and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Accessibility: Santa’s Grotto is suitable for wheelchair users and pushchairs via the exit (an elf will assist you), though please be aware that the courtyard is cobbled. If you would like any extra support during your visit, just let us know.
Regular car parking charges apply.
