Family festive fun at Santa's Grotto at Salomons Estate in Tunbridge Wells. With Santa's cheerful elves, little ones can decorate shortbread biscuits, make magical reindeer food, write a postcard to Santa and do some festive colouring. Then comes the big moment: a special knock on Santa's door and a present from Santa. Afterwards, little adventurers can follow the Festive Reindeer Trail, searching for hidden doors on the way to a well-earned hot chocolate.
