Christmas 2025 at Drusillas: Santa’s Grotto, Winter Lights and Family Fun

Christmas magic has been sparkling brighter than ever at Drusillas Park this year. From now until Tuesday 23rd December, the popular family attraction has transformed into a twinkling winter wonderland – complete with snow-dusted scenes, dazzling lights, and a charming grotto where little ones can meet Santa himself.

Meet Santa in His Cosy Grotto

Drusillas’ Santa experience is one of the South East’s most loved – and it’s easy to see why. Children can enjoy a personal one-to-one meeting with Santa in his beautifully decorated cottage, capture a magical photo moment, and take home a special festive gift.

Please note – Santa visits are now completely sold out at weekends, with limited availability each day from Monday 15th to Friday 19th December. Booking ahead is essential.

A Park Full of Festive Magic

Wander through the park and you’ll be met with twinkling lights, snow-capped displays, friendly life-sized snowmen, nutcrackers standing to attention, and a forest of real Christmas trees. At the heart of it all sits Drusillas’ spectacular 24ft illuminated Christmas tree – the perfect backdrop for those must-have festive photos.

The ever-popular singing reindeer trio will also be jingling their way through Christmas classics in the Events Arena, bringing plenty of musical cheer throughout the day. And with giant presents, Santa’s sleigh, and the enchanted Christmas tree forest, there are festive photo spots everywhere you turn.

Festive Treats & Cosy Delights

Between the exploring and excitement, warm up with freshly baked Christmas biscuits, festive cakes and Drusillas’ signature hot chocolate piled high with cream and marshmallows. Perfect fuel for a day of wintry fun.
