Look who's here - Santa’s Grotto has landed at Grosvenor Shopping Centre in Northampton

Father Christmas will be visiting Grosvenor Shopping Centre this festive season to see what the children of Northampton have on their wish lists.

The Grotto will be open for children to make a special visit to Father Christmas from late November to December 22nd, after which Santa will be preparing for his busiest night of the year. Shoppers can find the grotto nestled amongst the shops on the upper mall next to Primark — easy to spot, with glistening lights and festive cheer.

For just £1, youngsters can meet Santa and receive a gift. What’s more, all monies from this event will be donated to Northampton Food Reach, a charity that distributes food to those in need within the Northampton area.

Families can build lasting memories and are welcome to take their own photos in Santa’s Grotto. Tickets are limited, so pre-booking is required.

James Roberts, Director at Grosvenor Shopping, Northampton, explained: “We’re delighted to be part of the festivities in our local community this year. Working alongside the Northampton BID, we’re very excited to host Santa’s Grotto and deliver such a magical experience to raise the Christmas spirit amongst the families of Northampton.”

This year’s Grotto is hosted by Northampton BID and supported by the team at Grosvenor Shopping Centre.
