Father Christmas’ Underground Grotto

Step into the magical world of Smugglers Adventure this December and join us for a festive experience like no other!

Explore the hidden passages of the prehistoric St. Clements Caves and the full Smugglers Adventure attraction, before venturing into the magical Christmas grotto.

Junior visitors (ages 2–12) will have the chance to:

• Meet Father Christmas in his traditional green robes

• Meet Mother Christmas, spreading festive cheer

• Take a magical photo together

• Create and deliver a Christmas wishlist

• Receive a special magical token from Father and Mother Christmas themselves

Adults can enjoy the adventure too, following the same route with standard entry. This unique grotto experience combines festive fun and family adventure - perfect for creating unforgettable holiday memories deep underground!

We will be illuminating the caves uniquely for this event to spread more Christmas cheer for the little ones, and less smugglers shenanigans.
