Santa's Grotto is coming to Dobbies Braehead later this month.

A range of Christmas experiences will be on offer from November 23 until December 24.

The 2025 Santa’s Grotto has adventure as its core with activities along the way as children journey through an ice-inspired world, take part in polar games such as snowball basketball and make some reindeer food.

Children will then meet Santa to share their Christmas lists and wishes, before receiving a special gift.

The event is priced at £14-£16 per child [date dependant].

Photographs with Santa are also available during visits, with reduced rates at the time of booking.

There is also a Quiet Grotto available, which will take place on December 5.

It will offer a more relaxed and inclusive experience for children with additional needs.

These sessions ensure no queuing on the day, a reduced number of people in the grotto area, twinkling lights are removed and grotto music is turned off.

Ayesha Nickson, Dobbies’ Events Programme manager, said: “We are thrilled to unveil our 2025 North Pole adventure-themed Santa’s Grotto to families this year.

"Children will embark on a magical journey, take part in a variety of fun and interactive activities, and finish their visit by meeting Santa and receiving a special gift.

“Our Quiet Grotto experience is also a great chance for families and children with additional needs to enjoy the fun at Santa’s Grotto.”

Customers are encouraged to book in advance for Dobbies’ Christmas events at Dobbies Braehead store to avoid disappointment.
