Dazzling light effects, a captivating soundscape, and animated installations come together through almost a mile of beautiful, ancient woodland.

Grotto Dome
It wouldn’t be Christmas without seeing Santa, and Stockeld Park’s Grotto Dome is taking this special experience to a whole other level.
Get ready to embark on a magical journey as you wander through the enchanting realms of Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen and the charming North Pole Street where you’ll have the opportunity to meet Santa in his whimsical workshop.
There’s lots of interactive elements throughout to keep the little ones entertained. Can you spot the mice in the tailor’s shop? Can you find the gingerbread man in the Gingerbread kitchen? Why not stop and have a chat to Rudolph in his stable?
