Please note:
All children with tickets will receive a gift from Santa.
While infants (0 months -1 year) can enter free of charge, they will not receive a gift if they enter the experience without a ticket.
The whole of Castle Howard is venturing Into the Woods for a Fairytale Christmas and the Grotto has its very own Elves; although these are more used to shoemaking than tree decorating!
They'll be here to meet you in their workshop with a festive tale before meeting the main man himself... SANTA!! He’s looking forward to seeing you all, sharing a laugh and having a photograph.
To finish off your visit, pick up a present, which this year has been created by a local crafting company ‘Forest, Craft and Play’, and drop any Christmas letters in the Grotto’s special post basket.
