Santa has made time in his busy schedule to return to Salisbury this Christmas!
As part of Christmas on the Square, you will be able to find Santa in his enchanting grotto in Salisbury’s Guildhall Square. Capture the joy of Christmastime with family photos and feel the anticipation as your little ones await a special moment with Santa himself.
Children will gather around to hear a festive story read by Santa, followed by a chance for each family to take a special photo with him. Every child will leave with a beautifully wrapped gift to take home, straight from Santa’s workshop!

Do you cater for babies?
Yes, if you would like your baby to receive a baby-specific gift then they will also require a ticket, which can be booked as normal. If they are attending with siblings, but no gift is required, there is no additional charge. Please note, due to space limitations, sometimes prams will need to be left in a designated area, so your baby may need to be carried.
Is there an age limit?
No, there is no age limit. Adults can pay to come and do the experience with the children - and will also receive a gift!
Will I be with my child during the experience?
Yes, all children must be accompanied by someone over 18 years old. Accompanying adults are restricted to 2 per booking.
What is the refund policy?
There are no refunds, but you can amend your booking by emailing events@salisburycitycouncil.gov.uk with your full name and booking reference.
Can I bring my pram in?
Prams cannot be brought into the Grotto, but there will be an area monitored by a member of staff in which they can be securely left.
Who do I contact if I have a query?
If you have any questions or specific inquires regarding the Grotto, please email events@salisburycitycouncil.gov.uk or call the Salisbury Information Centre on 01722 342860
