Santa’s Grotto and Winter Wonderland

Visit Santa and try festive crafts at Yarmouth Scout and Guide Hall’s Saturday Winter Wonderland opening, with refreshments and admission at £5 per child.

Saturday 12 December brings a Christmas outing to Yarmouth Scout and Guide Hall for Santa’s Grotto and Winter Wonderland. Walk through the Winter Wonderland with the children, then visit Santa in his grotto. It is the middle day of three at the Mill Road hall, running from 3.30pm into the early evening. The other two dates are Friday 11 and Sunday 13 December.

Festive crafts add another activity around the Santa visit, and refreshments are available, so allow time to stop for a drink. The organisers describe a warm community atmosphere, with fun festive crafts and tasty refreshments. The organisers are using the weekend to raise money for the hall’s running costs; this is a local Christmas fundraiser with the children’s activities at its centre. Whether the visit includes a gift is not stated, so contact the organisers if that matters.

Saturday’s session closes at 6.30pm. Admission is £5 per child, the same price on all three days. Adult terms are not stated, so confirm those if you are bringing a group. The venue is on Mill Road, Yarmouth, PO41 0RA. Ask about booking and queue arrangements before you set off if you need a fixed plan for the afternoon. More family Christmas events around the island suit another date.
