  • Accessibility: Sensitive Santa sessions run outside busy trading times, with dimmed lights and no music, for children with additional needs.

Tips & Advice

  • Santa Photos are fully booked with no walk-ins, so keep checking back for bookings, because extra spots may open up during the season.
  • Arrive no more than five minutes before your session, because several families share each 15-minute slot and the elves check everyone in.
  • Keep phones and cameras put away on set, because only the photographers may shoot there, and ask the elves about the bonus photo email instead.
  • Pet owners should bring their pet on a leash or in a travel pen and wait at the Level 1 Entrance, Car Park B, where an elf will greet them.
  • If plans change, reschedule at least 24 hours ahead using the link in your confirmation email, because later changes need a phone call or a visit to the centre.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Pet Photos with Santa run as separate evening sessions on many dates, with dedicated bookings.
  • Sensory Photos (Sensitive Santa) on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November, with dimmed lights and no music; bookings essential.
  • New this year: multi-family and large group booking sessions on Thursday nights and weekends early in the season.
