Singing Santa

Santa is feeling very jolly this Christmas and is in the mood to sing some happy songs. Come to the Gardens to meet and singalong with Santa this December. In each 40 minute session, Santa will entertain the children (and their grown ups!) with a great session of songs with lots of child friendly interactions and getting into the Christmas spirit. At the end of the session, each child will recieve a present from Santa and have a chance to have a picture taken with him. Saturdays 5th and 12th December 2026 The sessions take place in the warm and cosy tent in the Melon Ground near the entrance to the Gardens. There is seating and heat. Each ticket also gives you access to the whole of the Gardens for all day! So, as well as your Santa Singlaong Session, you can spend time exploring the Gardens, and return to the courtyard for warming hot chocolate, drinks, cake and snacks and a bit more shopping.
