Meet Santa For Free At Affinity
Get ready for a season of joy and wonder as Santa returns to Affinity Staffordshire for an unforgettable Christmas experience!
Join us every weekend (and every day in the week before Christmas) between November 18 and Christmas Eve to meet Santa and his elves in the Grotto and receive a sweet treat if you’ve made it on the nice list. Not only that, the festive magic continues during late-night shopping on November 30, December 7, and December 14 (4 pm-7 pm) for Story Time with Santa, where each child will receive a copy of the festive tale* told during this magical session (*subject to availability). The best part? It's all for free, as our way of spreading holiday cheer and making sure no one misses out on the festivities.
Please note that we will close the queues approximately half way through each session to allow Santa and his helpers to have a small break, and we may close the queue earlier than the stated finishing time to allow everyone waiting a chance to see him. Thank you for your understanding. List of dates and times to see Santa below:
