Booking for Stirling’s Santa’s Grotto is now open

Booking is now open for Santa’s Grotto in Stirling, with Thistles shopping centre set to host the festive event which supports Strathcarron Hospice. Families are invited to join Santa Claus in his magical grotto, where children can write letters to Santa, sit in his sleigh, and receive a special gift. The Grotto will be open on selected dates from November 30 to December 24, with tickets priced at £7.95 per child, with all proceeds going to Strathcarron Hospice.

Strathcarron Hospice, known for its palliative and end-of-life care services in Forth Valley, Cumbernauld, and Kilsyth, relies on community support and fundraising events like this to continue its essential work. Last year’s Grotto raised over £7,000 for the hospice, and this year, Thistles hopes to surpass that amount. Claire Kennedy, Corporate Fundraiser at Strathcarron Hospice, expressed gratitude for the continued partnership with Thistles and the community’s support.

To secure a place at Santa’s Grotto, visitors are encouraged to book early, as spaces fill up quickly. Tickets must be pre-booked online, and more information on festive events at Thistles can be found on their website.
