Keep Santa safe this Christmas

2021 has been a funny old year. And whilst things have started to get back to normal COVID is still very much in our midsts.

To make sure everyone stays safe this Christmas, we’ll be restricting the number of adults to 2 per grotto visit this year. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this causes but the safety of our customers (and Santa of course) is our top priority!

Santa’s Grotto is back for 2021

We’re delighted to announce that Santa’s Grotto is back this year!

The best grotto in Basildon returns to the market for 2021 and we cant wait to see you all!

Opening to the public on Saturday 20th November, the Basildon Market grotto experience includes a photograph with Santa, a small gift and some sweeties.

To keep Santa safe this year, we’re limiting numbers to 2 x adults per child per visit. As usual, the grotto is FREE, however if you can spare any change we will be collecting donations for St Luke’s Hospice.
