Do carers need to buy a ticket for Santa's Grotto/Toddler Santa Experience?

We offer one free carer ticket (for a carer aged 18 or over) when accompanying a disabled visitor paying the standard general admission rate.

To receive the free carer ticket, please bring proof of eligibility to the entrance. This can include evidence of DLA/PIP payments, an Access Card, a National Disability Card, a Carers Card, or a Blue Badge dated within the last 12 months.

Our team will check your documents on arrival, and once confirmed, a carer ticket will be issued.
