Finding the perfect place for your little ones to meet Santa is a big part of the festive season, and Blackpool is delivering with a host of magical experiences.
From enchanting grottos to memorable festive events, here’s where you can find Santa in Blackpool this Christmas.
Santa’s Grotto at Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Step into a winter wonderland at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, where Santa has set up a grotto filled with twinkling lights and festive magic.
Children will enjoy a one-on-one visit with Santa and receive a special gift, along with a complimentary hot drink to keep the chills at bay. Each child will also take home a DIY bauble-making kit, magic reindeer food, and a magic key with instructions for Christmas Eve.
The experience doesn’t end there as families can stop by the Bubble Waffle Café for festive treats and finish with a ride on the Alice in Wonderland attraction. Tickets are £17.99 per child, including entry for up to two accompanying adults, with the grotto open on selected dates from November 16th to December 24th.
Santa’s Grotto at Houndshill Shopping Centre
Located in the heart of Blackpool, the grotto at Houndshill Shopping Centre is a festive favourite. Guided by Santa’s elves, families will journey through an interactive walkway before meeting Mrs. Christmas and heading into the grotto for a special visit with Santa himself.
Each child will receive a gift, and all proceeds from the grotto will go to Counselling in the Community. Dates include November 30th and December 1st, as well as weekends throughout December and Christmas Eve.
Santa’s Grotto at Coral Island
Coral Island adds its unique twist to the festive season with a grotto full of surprises. Children will meet Santa, collect a goody bag with small gifts, sweets, prize tickets, and a £5 play card, and even choose a special gift from Santa’s Workshop.
The fun doesn’t stop there – families can enjoy a festive meal at the Buccaneer Restaurant, where kids under 10 eat free with a paying adult. The grotto runs from November 22nd to December 22nd, with tickets priced at £9.99 per child, or £7.99 for those aged six and under.
