Santa in the Caves – A Magical Christmas Grotto in Torquay
Looking for one of the most enchanting Santa's grottos in Devon? Deep beneath the surface in Torquay, join us this festive season for Santa in the Caves, a truly unforgettable Christmas experience set inside one of the UK’s most spectacular prehistoric caves.
Perfect for Christmas days out in Devon, this immersive, pantomime-style adventure blends storytelling, theatre, and festive fun as families journey through the caves on a quest to help save Christmas!
The Story: A Christmas Quest Underground
Christmas is in trouble! The Reindeer Magic has been lost inside the cave system and needs to be found before Christmas Eve. Guided by professional actors, families explore the beautifully lit cave passages, stopping along the way to meet funny, festive characters, join in songs and games, and help restore the magic of Christmas.
At the end of the quest, each child will meet Santa Claus in a truly unique underground setting and receive a beautifully wrapped gift to take home.
