Santa's Lunch at Maryculter House Hotel

Santa's Lunch at Maryculter House Hotel is part of Santa Claus in Montrose, the charity's Christmas programme, which runs from the end of November until Christmas Day.

Santa Claus in Montrose is a Scottish charity (SC046401) that has been visiting children in and around Montrose since 2011. Santa arrives in the town towards the end of November and stays until he has delivered his last present around lunchtime on Christmas Day.

What to expect:

• Sunday 13 December 2026 from 12.30pm, at Maryculter House Hotel on South Deeside Road
• "Santa is due to appear at Maryculter House Hotel on Sunday 13th December from 1230 hrs"
• "Booking for this can be made directly with the hotel" - not through the charity
• A sit-down lunch with a visit from Santa rather than a grotto queue
• The hotel is a country house on the River Dee just outside Aberdeen, about 40 minutes from Montrose
• No end time and no price are published - ask the hotel when you book
