This year’s Grotto is a joyful, interactive adventure where your family helps bring Christmas to life
Trafford Centre is set to welcome back its much-loved Grotto this festive season.
Running between 22 November and 24 December, this year, families are encouraged to become part of a magical mission to save Christmas cheer.
Start in Gingerbread Lane, where you’ll write your letters to Santa and get briefed for your mission. Then, head into the Merrymarker Studio to giggle, shout, and complete colourful challenges to power up the Cheer-o-Meter. Finally, in Santa’s Study, you’ll seal your letters, hunt for your special coloured letter and get ready for a magical photo moment before meeting Santa himself.
The experience will be located just outside The Great Hall, where the former Frankie & Benny’s site will be transformed into a festive wonderland for little ones and their families to make magical memories at this holiday season.
To make the experience accessible to all, even more ‘Whispering Winter’ sessions will also be available. These specially tailored visits feature softer lighting, quieter music, and fewer visitors, creating a calm and inclusive environment for every child to enjoy the magic of Christmas.
Tickets are priced at £27 (+ booking fee) for children and include a Christmas gift, and £9.50 (+ booking fee) for adults. Click here to book now.
