We are excited to let you know that our Gold Geese Grotto at The Hatch, Old Leigh, is back again for 2024. Tickets can be purchased by clicking here and cost £10 per child. Each ticket includes a visit with Santa and a Christmas gift.
When booking please select the date first and then take care to select the correct time slot.
Please also make sure you are selecting the correct number of children for your time slot too. You need a ticket for each child but adults accompany for free.
We are also delighted to share that this year, on 3 of the dates, we have elves trained in British Sign Language. On the 7th, 21st and 23rd our signing elves will be able to help any deaf, hard of hearing or children who use BSL. Please book a slot fast if your child would benefit from this.
We also have some quiet time spaces for children with any additional sensory needs at the end of each day (3pm-3:30pm) – just let us know in the notes if there is any extra way we can help (e.g. turning any Christmas lights off, turning music down etc.)
As ever, our grotto would not be able to give such a magical Christmas experience to the children without our volunteers. If you would be interested in helping out and spreading some Christmas cheer then please send an email to [email protected] with the title “Grotto Volunteer”.
Christmas can be a particularly tough time for families affected by childhood cancer, but with your support we are here for them.
All the money from your ticket goes towards our very special Christmas party for the families we help. The invitation only party for our Gold families includes a visit from Santa, festive activities and treats as well as a John Lewis vouchers to help every family we support cover the cost of Christmas. We are incredibly grateful to everyone that purchases a ticket and helps support our families through the Christmas season. Click here and enjoy your visit!
