Created by internationally acclaimed Production Designer Sonja Klaus, Santa’s Secret Grotto offers a rare opportunity to step inside a magical cinematic Christmas environment. This is far more than a traditional Santa visit. It is an immersive family Christmas attraction, designed by a creative visionary whose award-winning work has shaped many iconic worlds in modern film and television, including Gladiator, A Christmas Carol, Terminator Dark Fate, Prometheus, Tomb Raider, Mr Selfridge, Taboo and more.

If you are searching for an unforgettable family Christmas day out or a beautifully crafted Santa experience in Buckinghamshire, Santa’s Secret Grotto promises pure festive magic in the heart of Gerrards Cross.
