Visit Father Christmas on Swanage Pier

Ho, Ho, Ho, Father Christmas is returning to Swanage Pier!

When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by one of Father Christmas Merry Elves who will entertain you in the winter wonderland grotto. You can write your letter and post it in our magical post box, before meeting the man himself!

Santa Grotto will be open from 11am – 1pm & 2pm – 5pm on the 9th and 10th and 16th – 23rd of December

Tickets £8.00 per child (Children under 2 are free ++)

All children will receive a gift.

++ If you have an under 2/baby who is accompanying you into the grotto with your other child (who have a ticket), you do not need to purchase a separate ticket – unless you want them to receive a gift.

Book on the Swanage Pier Website.

The Pier will also be open until 5pm for you to enjoy a walk around the lights as part of our ‘lighting up lives’ light installation. (Read more about the Swanage Pier Lighting Up Lives for Christmas)
