We are not offering a souvenir photography service. We have found that customers prefer to take their own pictures and we encourage you to do so, while being considerate towards other visitors.  You are also welcome to share your photos with us on our social platforms.

As we all know, visiting Santa can be an overwhelming experience for very young children. If you wish your child to receive a gift from Santa, you will need to purchase a ticket for them.  Babies in arms are free to meet Santa, but will not receive a gift.

The Grotto Experience is shared with other group bookings.  However, when visiting Santa there will be one group booking present at a time.

There is plenty of parking available in our customer car park. However, we will be very busy so please allow time to park.

The Grotto Experience lasts around 20-30 minutes. Please arrive 10 minutes early to check into your session, especially during busy periods when the traffic and car park can be extremely busy.

Yes, although we do ask that you call or email us at marketing@almondsbury.co.uk with your booking reference as soon as you can so we can make necessary arrangements.

As this is a shared, interactive Experience, we request that no buggies are brought in.  There is a buggy park situated outside.

All our sessions will include Makaton.  Our elves are there to help and engage with all guests.  Our experience can get very busy during peak times, as well as the garden centre itself.  Our 9am to 10am slots are the best slots should you wish to enjoy a slightly quieter Experience.

Yes, all children must be accompanied by an adult who also require a ticket.
