Ice Skating at Whilton Locks Garden Village, Northampton, this Christmas.

Stickman, oh Stickman,
What do you think?
It’s here just for Christmas,
It’s our real ice, ice rink!

“I love it,” says Stickman,
“It is really great.
It is super fun,
For the family to skate.”

Oh, wait a minute Stickman.
Are you the real deal?
Let’s look a bit closer,
Come here, let me feel.

Hmm, mistaken identity,
Oh what the frig?
We thought you were Stickman,
But you are just a twig.

Oh Twigman, oh Twigman,
It cannot be true.
But, we are so inclusive,
And we loved your review.

A Stickman, a Twigman,
Sprigman or cahoots,
You’re ALL welcome at our place,
And please bring your offshoots.

Santa Grotto OPENS This Weekend!

Whilton Locks Garden Village — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 11:20:07 +0000

We welcome Santa Claus in his Grotto this weekend for the first time this Christmas, as we enter into December – we are very excited!
We had Elf and Safety check out the grotto during the week. They packed the presents and filled the whole experience with Christmas sparkle and declared it ready for Santa. So if you know any good boys or girls that would like to see Father Christmas then he would love to see them.

We reckon it is the best Santa Grotto, and value for money, this side of the North Pole..and it all starts this weekend!

Father Christmas Grotto

Whilton Locks Garden Village — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 11:57:24 +0000

We had a very special guest the other day. It was Mrs Claus just checking up on the Santa Grotto in readiness to see all the good boys and girls this Christmas.

Arriving by special train, she was shown around the Grotto and was delighted with the progress so far.

She spent some time in her brand new kitchen, making some scrummy cakes – which is new for this season – and she even dropped off some freshly ironed Elf suits for the elves by the Grotto and the Ice Rink. It is snow exciting.

Have you been good all year?

Santa’s Grotto can be pre-booked now here https://www.whiltonlocksgardenvillage.com/product/santa-grotto/

Since then, his elves have been incredibly busy creating the very best, value for money, Santa Grotto this side of the North Pole and do you know the best news? Santa is back this weekend when the Grotto first opens. Snow ho ho exciting!!

Pre-bookings have been very busy already (clearly there are a lot of good little girls and boys in the area) and the elves would love you to see their handiwork too. Father Christmas will be joining us in our magical grotto this weekend. Each child will be given a premium gift too!
