Santa’s Grotto Experience 2026
**PRE-BOOK, TICKETED EVENT ONLY**
(Annual pass holders receive discounted rates for tickets to this event - please see ticketing page)
We’ve had top-secret confirmation from the BIG man himself that Santa is returning to Matlock Farm Park this Christmas, and he can’t wait to meet you!
Your magical adventure begins with a visit to our Christmas Craft Workshop, where our super-friendly Chief Elf provides a cheery welcome. Children can write their very own letter to Santa and pop it into the special North Pole Post Box, before getting creative with a festive decoration to take home.
But before meeting Santa, there’s one very important question…
Are you on the Naughty or Nice List?
Take on our hilarious Naughty or Nice-o-meter and discover exactly where you stand! And don’t worry, we’ll be checking the grown-ups too…
Then it’s time to head through our beautifully decorated Ice Tunnel, where another of Santa’s elves will be waiting to guide you towards the most magical part of your experience.
Santa’s Grotto!
Step inside Santa’s enchanting grotto and meet the man himself. There’ll be time to chat, share your Christmas wishes and capture those precious festive memories together. And, of course, Santa has a special early Christmas gift waiting for every child!
But the magic doesn’t stop there…
Your Santa’s Grotto ticket also includes full-day entry to Matlock Farm Park, so you can make a whole day of your visit. Meet our wonderful animals, enjoy festive pony rides* and activities and explore everything the farm park has to offer before or after your Santa experience.
And there’s even more Christmas magic to take home, including a complimentary return pass to visit Matlock Farm Park again!
