Festive Santa's Grotto Hire Nottingham
Our Festive Santa's Grotto sits between our classic grotto and our full Winter Wonderland. It's ideal for Santa's visits, meet & greets, breakfast with Santa and present giveaways.
The log cabin effect grotto gives an authentic Christmas feel, and we dress it with a crackling log fire, two festive nutcrackers, a Christmas tree and Santa's sacks to create a cosy scene families will love. It's perfect for schools, nurseries, garden centres, pubs, restaurants, shops and community Christmas events.
