If you’re ready to make this Christmas truly unforgettable, we’ve got just the thing for you. Honister’s Santa’s Secret Grotto isn’t your ordinary festive outing – it’s an epic underground adventure tucked away in the breathtaking Lake District mountains, running from 15th November to 24th December. This is an experience for everyone, not just the kids. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, couple, or adventuring with friends, the Santa’s Grotto at Honister is packed with magic, mystery, and festive cheer that’s bound to bring out the wonder in everyone.
A Family Christmas Adventure Unlike Any Other
Imagine kicking off your day with a journey deep inside Honister Slate Mine, where Santa’s grotto is hidden in the heart of the Borrowdale Valley. This isn’t just a stroll through the woods; it’s a guided adventure through hidden mountain passages, led by Santa’s very own mischievous elves. With twinkling lights and magical creatures around every corner, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a whole new world. And the best part? The festive finale where each child gets to meet Santa and receives a special gift.
It’s an experience the whole family will love. If you’re someone who feels alive in the outdoors, or you’re always searching for new ways to connect with nature and explore, Honister’s Secret Grotto is the perfect way to wrap up a day in the Lakes. After the grotto visit, why not grab a Festive lunch in our sister business The Yew Tree that’s located just down the lane at Seatoller, or explore the slate gallery and gift shop here at Honister?
Giving Back This Christmas
This year, Honister’s grotto isn’t just about creating memories; it’s about giving back too. We’re thrilled to partner with The Outdoor Guide Foundation and support their ‘Waterproofs & Wellies’ campaign by donating a portion of ticket sale profits to help kids experience the outdoors. By coming to Honister’s grotto adventure, you’re helping ensure children in UK primary schools have essential outdoor gear so they can enjoy nature, whatever the weather.
The Outdoor Guide Foundation, led by Julia Bradbury and her sister Gina Bradbury Fox, is all about making the outdoors accessible to everyone. With children’s TV presenter Gemma Hunt as an ambassador, the foundation is on a mission to give kids across the UK the freedom to play, explore, and connect with the natural world—regardless of weather or circumstances.
As Gina Bradbury Fox, CEO, puts it, “The ‘Waterproofs & Wellies‘ campaign ensures that children have the opportunity to explore, learn, and truly enjoy nature, regardless of the weather conditions. With the support of businesses like Honister, our goal is to gift 10 sets of waterproofs and wellies to every state primary school in the UK.”
