About this event
Santa's Quiet Grotto is a specially designed Christmas experience at Dobbies for children with additional needs and sensory sensitivities. Children enjoy a calming North Pole village adventure with activities, wishing wells, and dedicated time with Santa—all without overwhelming sensory input. Music is off, lights are dimmed, and families receive photos in advance so children know what to expect. Every child receives a collectable penguin soft toy gift. Pre-booking ensures a relaxed, queue-free visit perfect for families seeking a magical yet manageable festive outing.
