With the sleigh polished, the fairy lights glowing and the elves bustling in the workshop, the countdown is on for Santa’s arrival in EK, East Kilbride.
This year, Santa and his helpful elves will be moving from their popular Centre West grotto to a new, sparkling grotto in Plaza.
The magic begins on Saturday 6th December, when the grotto opens its doors for the first time! You can visit every weekend right up until Sunday 21st December, and Santa will also be welcoming visitors on Monday 22nd, Tuesday 23rd, and Christmas Eve.
The centre’s FREE forest grotto in Plaza promises a truly magical experience, filled with snowy Christmas trees, candy canes, giant baubles, festive music, and even dancing snowmen ready to delight children of all ages.
While visiting Santa is completely free, we encourage visitors who are able to make a donation to Kilbryde Hospice, either at the grotto or at collection points throughout the centre.
No booking is needed, and every child will receive a special Christmas gift to take home.
Please note the grotto queue may have to close earlier during busy periods.
Additional Dates: 22 December 2025, 23 December 2025, 24 December 2025
