A Family Christmas at Borde Hill, West Sussex - Kids Trail & Santa's Grotto

This winter, experience the magic of Christmas at Borde Hill. From 30th November to 22nd December, the Garden will be open from 10am to 3:30pm, welcoming families for a day of festive fun.

Children can write their letters to Santa and explore the Garden on an uplifting Christmas story trail, 'Ivy’s Sparkling Snow Ball Adventure' or for an additional charge, book to visit Santa in his magical grotto (weekends only). The 30 minute experience includes festive crafts in Santa’s Workshop, followed by a visit to see the man himself in his Grotto, where each child will receive a Christmas gift.

Throughout the event, embrace the beauty of the season with an enchanting winter walk that the whole family can enjoy. As you explore the Garden, immerse yourselves in the stunning views before warming up with a cup of hot chocolate or mulled wine from Ginkgo Coffee Shop or the Gardeners’ Retreat Café, or browse our Garden Shop which will be open brimming with gifts for all the family.

Santa's Grotto: £15.00 per child, including Members (entry to the Grotto for 1 Child and 1 supervising Adult). One additional Adult can access the Grotto for £6.00. Tickets include complimentary entry to the Garden for the same Child and Adult.
