A new Santa’s Grotto Experience filled with festive magic and interactive activities is coming to Newbridge Nurseries Garden Centre in Horsham this year.


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 sing-a-long.


Then it’s time to step through the velvet curtains into Santa’s Grotto before selecting a gift from the Present Room which is brimming with carefully-chosen toys for all ages.
The final room is Mrs Christmas’ Kitchen where children can decorate their own gingerbread house biscuit to take home.
Blue Diamond’s Group Events Manager Rebecca Gurnett says: “We’re thrilled to share this new interactive Santa’s Grotto Experience with families this Christmas. Last year’s event was a huge sell-out success and the team has been working behind the scenes to make this year’s grotto even more exciting with so many extra-special moments for the whole family to treasure.”
Running from Saturday 21st November to Thursday 24th November, the new Santa’s Grotto is available to book online here: https://www.bluediamond.gg/whats-on
