🎅 A new Santa’s Grotto Experience filled with festive magic and interactive activities is coming to Willington Garden Centre in Bedford this year.

🗓 2026 DATES
▪️21st - 22nd November
▪️28th - 29th November

☃️ EVENT DETAILS
The premium grotto event takes children on a thrilling Christmas journey through three different winter wonderland rooms to meet Santa and his elves.

First stop is the North Pole where Reindeer Ronnie will help little ones make reindeer food for Christmas Eve. The elves will join in the fun with a special festive dance and sing-a-long.

Then it’s time to step through the curtains into Santa’s Grotto to share Christmas wish lists and capture the moment with a keepsake photograph. Each child then has the chance to choose their own gift from the Present Room which is brimming with toys for all ages.

The adventure then moves into Mrs Christmas’ Kitchen where children can decorate their own gingerbread house cookie to take home with them.
