Santa’s Grotto at Hillmount Belfast
Santa's Grotto is one the highlights of each year at Hillmount when you can bring your children along to explore our Winter Wonderland. Your journey will start off in our grotto with a range of festive scenes and characters. They will be welcomed by our elves, meet Mrs Claus before visiting Santa and receiving a unique Hillmount gift.
We have been working hard with Santa and his elves to ensure everyone is safe whilst visiting our grotto. To help with this we ask that you pre book your tickets so we can keep numbers at a safe level. More info can be found in our FAQs.
The Grotto Experience
Your tickets will include access to our magical grotto where your little ones will be given a quiz sheet by our Elves to work on throughout their visit. The elves will be there to entertain and interact with your family while Mrs Claus will be busy handing out festive refreshments for all as well as sweeties for the children.
You will be able to get into Santa’s sleigh under our outdoor canopy, so hats and gloves are needed! Finally meet the man himself as he greets your family and gives all the children their very special Hillmount gift!
There will be plenty of photo opportunities throughout and our professional photographer will be in attendance if you want to purchase some high-quality images to remember your experience!
Don’t forget we will be holding our very special Santa Paws event for dogs on 24th December so you can bring your faithful friends to meet Santa and receive a festive gift!
