Bosses at the Trafford Centre have confirmed the details for its Christmas Grotto for 2023 - and a new indoor Christmas Market will surround it. The shopping centre's Santa's Grotto is always one of the most popular in the region and in previous years has had themes including Paddington and Peter Rabbit.
The Christmas Market will be free to enter, where you can buy mugs of hot chocolate and sweet treats, as well as browse "branded merchandise" from The Grotto. There will also be dedicated ‘relaxed sessions’, with quieter music, dimmer lights, and fewer visitors, ensuring that every child can enjoy the enchantment of meeting Santa in a comfortable and inclusive environment.
