From 22 Nov to 21 Dec 2025, step into a slice of old-fashioned Christmas magic as Santa and his merry team of elves arrive at the Newgate Centre to welcome families for a warm, personal, and truly memorable festive experience.
Families can visit Santa in his cosy, traditionally decorated grotto filled with twinkling lights, hand-crafted props, and cheerful elves. Each visit includes a professional family photo and a special gift for every child.
Tickets include admission for one child and up to two adults (additional adults £5.24). Priced at £13.10 per child, the experience offers exceptional value for a magical Christmas memory.
Parents can also share special details during booking — such as a child’s achievements or favourite hobby — so Santa can make each visit delightfully personal.
Spaces are limited and early booking is advised. Book now at christmasatnewgate.co.uk.
