Weetons of Harrogate launches Christmas journey to Santa’s grotto

The bougiest garden centre in Yorkshire, Weetons, is bringing some extra magic to the festive season with The Weetons Christmas Journey to Santa’s Grotto, a brand-new experience at its Leeds Road spot.

This is more than your classic visit to Santa, the enchanting journey to visit the big man is full of festive wonder, interactive activities, heartwarming storytelling, and a very special Christmas bear for each child to adopt and take home.

The adventure begins at Elf Check-In, where Santa’s helpers welcome little ones before they make their way to Mrs Claus’ Christmas Table. Here, children can decorate their own festive cookie and enjoy a delicious mini hot chocolate before continuing.

Then, head to Santa’s Grotto for a magical meeting with Father Christmas. The Children will enjoy a Christmas story before officially adopting their bear and receiving a personalised adoption certificate. The experience finishes up with a family photo opportunity, perfect for capturing the festive memory!
