Join us this festive season for a traditional Christmas Grotto experience at Chester Town Hall!

Step inside our festive Assembly Hall to meet Santa's helpful elves, Sparkle & Jingle! They've set up their arts and crafts workshop and they can't wait to meet you! Craft a giant, snow filled bauble ready to hang on your tree, package your own bag of magical reindeer food, colour and sparkle a festive gift bag and write a letter to Santa himself. Very important stuff indeed! 

Then, get ready to ascend our magical staircase, and meet the big man himself, Santa! You'll get to have a beautiful photo with Santa in our stunning rooms and receive a present from him too.
