The Willows Garden Centre in Usk is bringing the magic of Christmas to life with two enchanting attractions: an interactive Santa Grotto experience and a delightful snow-themed play area. Designed to spark the holiday spirit, these activities are perfect for families looking to create festive memories together.
The Santa Grotto experience at The Willows isn’t just a visit to see Santa; it’s an adventure filled with festive charm. Families start their magical journey by boarding The Willows Express train carriage, which transports them magically to Gingerbread Land. Here, children can decorate their own Christmas mug - a fun and creative activity that results in a cherished keepsake to take home. The experience also includes special stops at the Gingerbread Factory, where kids can play interactive games and even make reindeer food to help Santa’s helpers stay energised for their Christmas Eve journey.
Santa’s Grotto is a highlight of the trip, where every family receives personal time with Santa himself. Each child gets a coveted spot on Santa’s Nice List and chooses a gift from Santa’s exclusive toy shop, making the experience even more magical. The journey to Santa’s Grotto is more than just a visit—it’s an immersive, memory-making adventure for the whole family.
📅 Booking is essential for the Santa Grotto experience, as spaces are limited. Reserve your spot and learn more at www.willowsgardencentre.co.uk/christmas.
From 23rd November through 5th January, children can dive into Christmas fun in The Willows’ snow-themed play area. The Snow Play Area is filled with supersoft, fluffy “snowballs” and gentle, falling “snow” creating a safe yet magical environment where kids can enjoy a winter wonderland experience. Parents are welcome to relax in the seated area while keeping an eye on their little ones’.
In addition to snow play, a Christmas sleigh is available for family photo opportunities, making this space ideal for capturing festive moments. Children can let their imaginations run wild while enjoying wintery fun.
