Visit our FREE Santa’s Grotto this Christmas

At The Rock we believe that EVERYONE should be able to visit Santa, and that’s why our grotto is completely FREE.

This Christmas we will unveil a BRAND NEW grotto at the centre, our first one since 2019.

It’s been almost five years since we last hosted a grotto at the centre and we’re so excited to finally be able to bring this activity back, we know it has been missed.
