FESTIVE IDEAS

The festive season will be upon us in no time and there are so many family adventures to be had! Here is a small taster of what’s to come so you can start planning your best Christmas celebrations yet!

MEET SANTA IN KETTERING THIS CHRISTMAS!

Go along and meet Father Christmas and his Elves in the magical setting of Santa’s Lapland Lodge this Christmas. Enter a wonderland of snow and trees before you go in to meet Santa himself in his inner lodge. Every child will get a present at the end of the visit, specially selected for their age group by Santa’s expert Elves – plus the chance to have their photo with Santa. The grotto will be in Kettering Market Place and will be open during weekends and throughout the school holidays from Sunday 27th November to Saturday 24th December, from 10am to 4pm. There are also late-night opening slots on Fridays 9th, 16th and 23rd December, until 8pm. Tickets to the Lapland Lodge cost £7 per person and booking is essential.

SANTA COMES TO CALL AT BOSWORTH GARDEN CENTRES THIS CHRISTMAS

Magical Christmas events return to Bosworth Garden Centres this year! In Burton Latimer, don’t miss their enchanting Santa’s Grotto. Visit Santa and get a photo with him beside his cosy fireplace, before heading over to the toy workshop to choose your very own toy! Open from the 26th November to 24th December, with quiet sessions to be released soon. Booking is required, costing £11 for the first child, with additional children for £10. Or perhaps your little one would prefer something a bit different? The picturesque Elton store is hosting an exclusive Breakfast with Santa. For just £11, children can enjoy a hot breakfast, a visit from Santa and a gift. The renowned Christmas displays in Burton Latimer are free to wander through from the October half term, and from the first week of December, a visit to the famous singing reindeers is a must!
