Santa’s Grotto

Our Chronicles of Dudley Castle, which opens on November 25, and then runs from December 1 to Christmas Eve, includes a visit to see Santa in his Grotto set within the walls of the 11th Century Dudley Castle.
After receiving a special gift from Santa, it’s off to see Santa’s Reindeer as they prepare for their busiest night of the year before taking a walk around the site.
The festive package includes admission to DZC and a chance to see your favourite animals and find out what they’re up to this Christmas.
