Santa Claus has marked his calendar to visit Southside Shopping Centre this Christmas, bringing with him a brand-new experience to find out who’s been naughty or nice.
From 20th November, families are invited to step into Santa’s enchanting new grotto at the Wandsworth-based shopping centre. Boasting an exciting new look and location on the ground floor outside Waitrose, children will be able to meet the jolly man in red, share their Christmas wishes, and capture a keepsake photo right up until Christmas Eve (Thursday 24th December).
This year’s festivities feature an all-new design, inviting little ones to step inside Santa’s magical Christmas tree. Complete with an illuminated walkway and festive decorations, the immersive grotto offers a wondrous backdrop for families to create Christmas memories.
The grotto experience provides little ones with a chance to speak to Santa for a magical one-to-one moment and tell him what they’re hoping to receive under the tree this year. Every child will receive a specially chosen, age-appropriate gift from Santa himself.
Santa’s Grotto is priced at £7.50 per child plus booking fee*, and all children must be accompanied by an adult. Advance booking strongly recommended to guarantee a slot.

Shannon Reed, Centre Director at Southside Shopping Centre, said: “Our Christmas events are always met with great excitement, so we’re delighted to announce that Santa will return to Southside from 20th November. The grotto is always a highlight of the festive season, and with a fantastic new look for families to enjoy this year, we can’t wait to welcome everyone. We encourage visitors to book early to avoid disappointment.”
