West Dean Gardens is the perfect destination for an enjoyable family day out during the lead-up to the Festive Season and on Saturday 13 December - Sunday 14 December, Saturday 20 December and Sunday 21 December. Father Christmas will be visiting!

Each day, between 10am - 4.30pm (last time slot 4.00pm) children can visit Santa's grotto in the historic Apple Store to share their Christmas wishes with Father Christmas.

Each child will receive a special gift from Father Christmas, create their own magical reindeer food to sprinkle on Christmas Eve, and enjoy a variety of festive crafts to take home. It's a heartwarming experience full of sparkle, smiles, and seasonal joy!

Tickets will be available soon.
