Santa's Secret Grotto at Honister

14 November to 23 December 2026

Honister Slate Mine, Honister Slate Mine, Honister Pass, Borrowdale in Borrowdale

Every year, mid November to just before Christmas

Probably the only Santa's grotto in Cumbria reached through a working slate mine. Guides lead families through the tunnels to a lit cavern where Father Christmas is waiting, and each child gets a gift. It sells out every year, so book early.

Dates are from the organiser. Always check their page before you travel.
