Visit Santa on his magical, fully accessible and inclusive grotto bus this Christmas!

Our Santa Grotto Bus welcomes all ages and needs, because everybody deserves the opportunity to meet Santa. 

​

Find us on Grainger Street, next to Carhartt just before you enter the Christmas markets.

​

​🎅🏽 Friday 4th - Sunday 6th December​

🎅🏽 Friday 11th - Sunday 13th December​

​​​While Santa’s sleigh will be getting prepared and polished for its long route on Christmas Eve, the ever-generous team at Stagecoach have very kindly arranged to bring him to Newcastle City Centre on one of their buses to pay children, adults and families in our region a very special visit!

​

We understand that this year especially, money will be tight for most of us, which is why all visits to Santa remain FREE of charge. Our grotto bus is also fully accessible with wheelchair access.

 

We understand that visiting Santa can be an overwhelming experience, and we can't always predict a child's mood - we don't require any booking, just turn up when you can, and our team can make adaptions if your child needs it so that they feel as comfortable as possible.​

All visits to Santa are completely free, though any donations on-the-day are welcome and will go directly towards supporting local children living with disabilities, additional needs and terminal illness.
