Santa's Grotto 2026
The Old Stone Barn, Olney, MK46 4HN
Saturday 12th December 2026 - Sunday 13th December 2026
Join us in celebrating our annual Santa's Grotto at The Old Stone Barn. This year we are welcoming Santa back to our Safari Tents for a cosy, personalised, family visit to Santa in his Grotto. We have decided to make a whole weekend of it this year with tickets on sale for both Saturday and Sunday.
Come and meet Santa and take part in some Christmas Crafts in our cosy grotto experience. Adults may enjoy a mulled wine whilst accompanying their children and there will be a chance to buy additional refreshments and Christmas treats as well as a few Christmas gifts while you are here. Once again we will be having a tombola in aid of The William Crook Foundation.
There will be small craft stall shopping experience and you will have the option to meet our animals including Alpacas, Miniature Pigs and Miniature Donkeys together with various chickens and ducks.
Visits are done in 30minute time slots, with your personalised family visit to the big man himself taking place on a first come first serve basis during your half hour slot. Please arrive 5 mins before your half hour entry time. Please note there is no limit to how long you stay but your Santa Experience will be within your half hour slot. Tickets are only for Children and Adults may accompany. There will be one complimentary mulled wine (or other hot drink) per child's ticket purchased.
We are planning the first session from 12pm - 12.30pm on each date as a SEN Session. This will be a slightly quieter session before it gets too busy. Everything is available and the set up is exactly the same but there will be less busy early in the session.
Saturday 12th December and Sunday 13th December 12pm - 4pm
Time slots available - 12-12.30pm, 12.30-1pm, 1-1.30pm & 2-2.30pm, 2.30-3pm, 3-3.30pm, 3.30-4pm
5 Family slots available during each half hour period.
Tickets are £12 per child. Early bird tickets available.
Please bring cash on the day, as some of the stalls are cash only. Card payments will be accepted on some stalls including the cafe.
