Meet Santa at the Buchanan Galleries Grotto

Santa is coming to Buchanan Galleries this festive season to spread joy, wonder and Christmas cheer to families and children – and to find out who's been naughty or nice!

In partnership with Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, children of all ages can enjoy festive meet and greet with the jolly man in red in Santa's Grotto at Buchanan Galleries this festive season.

Here, children will get a chance to meet Santa and his cheerful elves and share their Christmas wishes before snapping a keepsake photo. Each child will also receive a small gift from Santa to take home and enjoy too.

Entry to the grotto is free, with the option to donate to Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity when your visit. All proceeds will help fund lifechanging projects and services at Scotland's busiest children's hospital, The Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow

And this year there'll be even more festive fun to enjoy while you wait to see Santa, with arts and crafts sessions, a chance to ‘write a letter to Santa' and the chance to send your letter to the North Pole in the Christmas post box too!
