Bootle Strand Grotto 2026

All online tickets have a 10% discount

Come to Bootle to meet Father Christmas this December in The Bootle Strand Grotto produced once more by In Another Place, the people that brought you The Award-Winning Alice and Narnia Experience in St George’s Hall.

The Castle in the Strand Shopping Centre (found above the post office) will be transformed into an amazing Christmas Experience.

Annie Spiers, Creative Director at In Another Place said “We can’t wait to welcome families to Bootle Strand Grotto this December. Following The Narnia Experience taking place in the Castle in October there will be a magical forest to enter through. We will also be bringing some of last years much loved winter wonderland into the Grotto for children to experience before meeting Father Christmas.”

All the slots are pre-bookable, and we recommend doing so to avoid disappointment. Tickets are £8 for Off Peak times and £9 for Peak times. We even have a limited number of £6 tickets on our Discount days! Each ticket is for one child and up to 2 adults, if you want to bring more than one child then please book slots next to each other, you will be able to go in as one group but this allows us to make sure every child has the same amount of time with Father Christmas. We ask for a suggested donation of £2 each for any additional adults that can be made online or on the door.

We will try our best to accommodate any latecomers, but we cannot guarantee entrance if you arrive more than 10 minutes late.
