Activities & Days Out / 21 September, 2024 / Christina Walter

We’ve been following Father Christmas’s movements very closely to plot exactly when and where he’ll be appearing with his entourage of reindeer and elves at grottos in and outside of London this year. The officials at the North Pole have given us this insider information, so you can get booking your Christmas grotto experience asap!

We’ll be updating this feature with Christmas Grottos as they are announced.

With over one million twinkling lights of every colour imaginable, Kew Garden’s Christmas tour is truly magical.

Journey through the mesmerising flickering flames in the Fire Garden, spot larger-than-life illuminations and say hello to Father Christmas along the way.

Along the route, our delicious independent street food vendors will offer tasty festive delights, from hot food and sweet treats to spiced winter warmers and hot chocolate.

Walk under the stars and have yourself a holly, jolly Christmas as seasonal sounds fill the air.

There will be limited capacity with timed entry to Christmas at Kew so make sure to plan now to secure the date and time of your choice.

With plenty of kids’ rides, festive eateries and the chance to meet Santa himself, Santa Land in Winter Wonderland is the ultimate enchanting day out for all the family. Brand new this year, why not take part in Elf Dance Off where you get the chance to dance with one of Santa’s elves and show off your moves!

Located in the heart of London, Winter Wonderland is the place to visit this Christmas season, as Hyde Park transforms into a world of unforgettable festive magic.

This year, you must book your tickets in advance to keep everyone safe.
