Santa’s Grotto
The decorations are up, the fairy lights are twinkling and the countdown has started for Santa's arrival in EK, East Kilbride on Sunday 1st December!
About Santa’s Grotto
The sleigh is getting its final polish, the fairy lights are twinkling, and the elves are busy in the workshop – the countdown has started and Santa is preparing to fly to EK, East Kilbride for another sparkling Christmas.
The festive fun will kick off at 10am on 1st December, when Santa, his helpful elves and a group of festive friends, parade from The Hub to the glittering grotto in Centre West, before the doors open wide to welcome all the good boys and girls at 11am.
The centre’s free forest grotto in Centre West promises a magical experience, with snowy Christmas trees, candy canes, polar bears, giant baubles, festive music, and even dancing snowmen set to entertain children of all ages.
Although there will be no charge to visit Santa, visitors are encouraged to make a donation to EK charity Kilbryde Hospice at the grotto or at other collection points in the centre.
Don’t worry if you don’t have time to visit after the parade. Santa will be back in EK every weekend in December (10am to 4pm on Saturdays, 11am to 4pm on Sundays) and in the run up to the big day on Monday 23rd (10am to 4pm) and Christmas Eve (10am to 3pm). No booking is required, and every child will receive a Christmas gift when they leave.
And the fun doesn’t end there. if you fancy an early pressie then watch out for our fantastic festive Facebook competition where you could win a stocking full of cracking Christmas goodies during December. Keep an eye on www.facebook.com/ekshoppingcentre for more details.
