The build-up to Christmas this year is going to be different, we all know that. Numbers are going to be restricted when going to see Santa in Cornwall in the usual places. But if you book in early hopefully you won’t be disappointed. Last year we went to see Santa’s Grotto at China Fleet in Saltash. It was an incredible experience for the girls and us!

Meet Father Christmas, Mother Christmas and the elves at The Eden Project

The Father Christmas Experience
There are letters to sort, presents to deliver, and a very important sleigh to prepare. Father Christmas and Mother Christmas are keen to meet you and your children, so they can help.
Inside the cosy tent you’ll get to see ‘behind the scenes’, including the pigeonholes full of children’s letters and all the stockings laid out ready for the big day.
After settling down for a story beside an open fire, each child can enjoy a special moment with the man in red.
Relaxed Sessions
The Eden Project offers relaxed quieter sessions for children with autism spectrum condition, sensory and communications needs or learning disabilities who may benefit from a more informal experience. See the event page for booking info.
