Know Before You Go

  • Tickets: From £29.95 per child. If a baby or toddler is the only child attending, a ticket must be purchased for them to meet Santa, receive a toy and have their photo taken.

  • Hours: Evenings only on Mondays in December, except 21 December, which is open all day. No clock times are stated.

Tips & Advice

  • Book a time slot ahead, because each slot is for one family group to meet Santa together.
  • Bring your baby or toddler along with an older ticketed child, because little ones then go through the whole experience at no extra charge.
  • Plan around Mondays: the grotto is closed on Mondays in November and opens evenings only on December Mondays, except 21 December, when it's open all day.
  • Keep the reindeer food Mrs Clause gives out at Festive Point safe, because it's meant for sprinkling outside on Christmas Eve.
  • If you're staying, a homeowner or a Health Club member, log in to book. The public online booking link is for day visitors.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Ribby Hall's Winter Wonderland also runs a family-friendly pantomime
