Santa opens his Grotto at Pleasure Resort

Santa has officially arrived at Pleasure Beach, and from today children can head into the magically transformed North Pole to meet the big man himself.

Until December 24, children can meet Santa, walk through an interactive wonderland experience, write a Christmas wish list to hang on the wishing tree, and collect reindeer food and a magic key.

Also included their ticket, guests can take a trip down the rabbit hole with a ride on Alice in Wonderland, as well as enjoy a hot drink. Little ones will also receive a present from the big man himself.

Amanda Thompson OBE, CEO of Pleasure Beach Resort said: “When you come to an amusement park, especially for the first time, it’s a rather magical experience. We truly believe in the importance of those magical moments and creating a space of escapism, adventure and fun.

“When we have to close for the winter period, we want to carry those enchanting moments into the festive months, and what better way than to welcome Santa Claus to Pleasure Beach? Whether it’s their first time, or one hundredth time, we believe it’s these experiences that last a lifetime… and we’re proud to play our part in that.”

Tickets start at £17.99 when booked online in advance and includes the admission of two accompanying adults.

As well as the Christmas Grotto Wonderland, Pleasure Beach has a jam-packed line up of festive events. Guests can see Aladdin the pantomime starring Charlotte Dawson at The Globe theatre, take to the ice at Pleasure Beach Arena, enjoy a festive lunch in the iconic White Tower restaurant or even don their best attire for an evening of glitz and glamour at Christmas Hollywood Party Nights.

Every weekend in November and as well as being able to enjoy the Grotto, thrillseekers will have the last opportunity to enjoy their favourite rides for the final time in 2024, ending in a spectacular fireworks display on Saturday November 30^.
