Will a photo be taken of our visit with Santa?
Yes. Professional photos are available to purchase during your visit inside the Grotto. Please check your photos before leaving, as refunds cannot be offered once you have exited.
What is the experience?
One at a time, each family will enjoy a magical 10-minute visit inside our cosy woodland tipi. Guided by Santa’s elf, children will plant a magic bean before meeting Santa for a photo opportunity and receive an age-appropriate gift from Santa. Whilst with Santa, children will also discover that their planted bean has magically grown into their very own Mini Christmas Tree to take home! (the elves have kindly asked if grown-ups can keep this a surprise for little ones!)
Where is the Grotto?
The Grotto is located at Pugh’s Wenvoe Garden Centre (Port Road, Vale of Glamorgan, CF5 6AD). Please note this event is not taking place at our Radyr centre. Wenvoe is easily accessible from the M4 and has a large family-friendly car park, making it convenient to visit from across South Wales.
Is there a limit on the number of children per family?
Each booking can have a maximum of four children. If you wish to book for more than four children, you will be instructed to make two bookings. Your group will still be able to visit together at one of the times you have selected. Full details will be provided when tickets go live.
How many adults may attend?
There is a limit of 8 adults attending, but please note that more than four may feel a little cramped inside the Tipi.
What gift will my child receive?
Each child will receive an age-appropriate gift from Santa. As part of our sustainability drive, all gifts will be supplied unwrapped.
Do I have to pay for my baby?

What is the refund policy?
