Each year crowds of people line the entrance of the garden centre to welcome the Father Christmas and his trusty four-legged friends. This day also celebrates the opening of Santa’s Grotto, where children have the chance to visit him and be part of a truly magical and memorable experience for all the family.

This year, to find Santa, look for the entrance that leads to the land of enchantment where Santa’s Elves will greet you. Walk into Santa’s workshop where his helpers will come to life right before your very eyes. Write a letter to Santa, make your festive wish and pop it into the Magical Wishing Star that will take it straight to the North Pole where Santa will respond to each letter. Before seeing Santa, join the elves and learn Santa’s favourite song, then you’ll be ready to see the jolly man himself.

Knock on his door to find him sitting by the warm fire, ready to read everyone his Christmas story. As you listen to his festive tales, you will receive a sweet treat while mums and dads enjoy a tasty mince pie. It’s then time to say goodbye to Santa till Christmas Eve, but for all the good boys and girls Santa will give you one of your Christmas presents early and mum and dad will receive a fresh Sapling Sprig Christmas tree, ready to plant in time for Christmas.

We spoke to Santa about how excited he is to come to Milton Keynes and he said, “I can’t wait to see all the good little children on my list. My elves have been looking out for which of you have been good this year and we have chosen a present to give to you early. Look out for me and my reindeer on the 13th November and I will see you all there. HO HO HO, Merry Christmas.”
