Santa's Woodland Grotto
When? 07 Dec 2019 to 08 Dec 2019
Where? Poole
Santa is returning to Upton House in December with some new friends and things to see and tickets are available now so you have plenty of time to plan your visit.
This year Santa is joined in his Woodland Grotto by some friendly new elves, owls and donkeys (his reindeer are staying at home). Also new this year is a covered Light Tunnel to enjoy!
Pre-booking is highly recommended. Same-day walk-in tickets can be purchased at our ticket booth, but there are likely to be queues especially at peak times.
