Is your Christmas wish-list ready? Now let’s find Santa as he is leading us on a merry dance this year across Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate setting up his grotto in all kinds of places.

Step inside Santa's Cottage Grotto at Westwood Cross to enjoy a magical experience meeting the man himself and receiving a special gift.

On arrival, one of Santa’s workshop elves will be on hand to welcome you and guide you into the grotto. Will you be on his naughty or nice list?

What better place to be located whilst you crack through those all important lists of Christmas jobs.
