Santa’s Grotto at the Alhambra
Santa’s coming to the Alhambra this Christmas!
This year, come along and meet Santa and his elves in our open woodland cabin installation, located on the lower level outside Iceland, perfect for those children who are a little nervous about enclosed spaces.
From Friday 21 November until Christmas Eve, children will be treated to a meeting with Santa, a small gift plus the opportunity to have their photo taken with the big man himself. Entry is £5.50 per child, with no booking required.
You are welcome to take your own photos, but you can also purchase extra personalised keepsake items such as baubles, snow globes, keyrings and prints from your favourite snap.
