Make Christmas magical at Haven House Santa’s Grotto
Christmas magic is coming to Redbridge Garden Centre as Haven House Children’s Hospice invites families to enjoy its enchanting Santa’s Grotto this festive season.
Running on selected dates from 5th–23rd December 2026, the experience promises a memorable outing for little ones, complete with a festive walkthrough, a special meeting with Father Christmas, Christmas crafts, photographs and a gift to treasure.
Located at Redbridge Garden Centre, Roding Lane North, Woodford Green, IG8 8LZ, the grotto offers the perfect opportunity for families to create precious Christmas memories together.
Tickets cost £15 per child, with siblings under one year old admitted free when accompanied by a paying child. Accompanying adults are also included, making it a wonderful festive treat for the whole family.
Beyond the seasonal sparkle, every visit supports Haven House’s vital work providing specialist care, respite and emotional support for seriously ill children and their families.
With Christmas just around the corner, families are encouraged to book ahead and secure their place at this magical festive experience.
