About Santa’s Grotto at Dalkeith Country Park

Santa and his elves are coming to Dalkeith Country Park to give your kids an unforgettably magical experience this Christmas. Making dreams come true, our Santa (and we are pretty sure he is the real one) wants to make sure every child he meets gets plenty of time so they can tell him their dearest wish, get a free photo opportunity and receive a proper under-the-tree worthy gift.

As part of the package you’ll also get free entry into Fort Douglas on the same day.

Santa and his elves will be at Dalkeith Country Park at weekends and in the school holidays on these dates: 30th November, 1st December, 7th & 8th December, 14th & 15th December, 20th – 23rd December.

Book online for time slots.
