BBC Children in Need is such a fantastic cause so this year we have asked them how we can help.

We have decided to offer a great skate for just £7 (ppp – per Pudsey participant) with ALL proceeds donated to Children in Need!! Enjoy our ice rink with your family for this amazing price to raise money for this amazing charity. There are exclusive skates available on Children in Need day (the Friday) and on the Saturday too.

Children in Need loved our idea, they wanted to help us, so…
There will be an extra special star guest too! Can you guess who it will be? Clues?
He is very handsome.
He has big paws.
…and he is yellow…
It’s Pudsey Bear! Straight from BBC Children in Need HQ, Pudsey is very busy, on his special weekend, and we are so honoured to welcome him to our place.

That’s right it’s the same price for all tickets. We’d love you to join in the Pudsey Party – we’d love you to wear your Pudsey ears, Pudsey jumpers, anything yellow – or just join in the fun. Pudsey will be available for meets and greets, photo ops and to hear about your fundraising too. Oh, and if you can bring any loose change – pennies for Pudsey’s bucket, he’d love that too.

Take the most heartwarming festive family photos throughout the entire experience.

“I’ve been before for shopping, today I came with my boys to meet Santa in his grotto and I was really impressed ! The grotto is beautiful !!!!! I love the sleigh area making more photo opportunities and happy children . Santa didn’t rush us and made it very special ! I loved the snowman bouncy castle and the ice rink what a lovely way to spend a family day out on a normally stressful run up to Christmas !

“Took our girls to see Santa in his grotto today and it was a great experience. The grotto was magically decorated, Santa a lovely sweet man who was great to the children and parents and Santa’s helpers outside were very sweet girls who completed the experience. Great present as well for the money. Well done Whilton Locks.”

And finally, a heads up:
• No early entrance will be granted if you arrive earlier than your allotted time.
• Please be aware that your time slot will allow you into the queue to see Santa. There will be multiple children booked within each 10-minute slot – the timings simply allow us to manage the queue for you.
• We aim to ensure that you see Santa within your time slot but on busy days you may need to wait a little longer.
