Coin collectors, Christmas fans and little believers unite!

Until Christmas Eve

Start with a mince pie and hot chocolate or mulled wine, then visit the grotto to meet Santa himself! Receive a special Welsh slate bauble to decorate, write a letter to Santa and take home a special gift, suitable for all ages.
Until Christmas Eve
Bridgend Grotto
Seasons Garden & Christmas Outlet
Bridgend is getting seriously festive with the return of its magical Santa’s Grotto at the Seasons Christmas Outlet. Step through the twinkling doors into a winter wonderland bursting with sparkle. Little ones can share their wish lists with Santa himself, snap that all-important photo, and leave with a special treat. Parents love the cosy, festive atmosphere, perfect for making memories.

Santa’s Grotto at Gower Fresh Christmas Trees
Three Crosses, Swansea
It doesn’t get more Christmassy than this. Wander through a twinkling Winter Wonderland filled with talking trees, cheeky elves, and even polar bears before meeting Santa himself for a special gift. You can also feed real reindeer in the Reindeer Barn and handpick your own Christmas tree to take home. Insta-perfect doesn’t even cover it.
Until Christmas Eve
Santa’s Grotto in Pontypridd

One of South Wales’ most-loved grottos and for good reason. Feed Santa’s real reindeer, snap a family photo and share your wish list with the big man himself. Every child gets a visit with Santa, a present from his toy shop and plenty of festive cheer. Got a crowd of little ones? Don’t worry, the elves will make sure everyone gets in together.
