Christmas Carnival
Take a look at what’s in store at this year’s Christmas Carnival!
Santa’s Grotto
Visit Santa and his elves in his winter wonderland grotto and let him know what you would like this Christmas!
Santa will be starting a bit early this year and will be visiting the Gnosall Christmas Carnival on Saturday November 28th, to find out what children in the parish would like for Christmas.
His elves will set up his magical grotto in the Grosvenor Centre for just one day, and families can book to visit Santa, tell him what they’d like and receive a small gift.
Visits are free, but donations are welcome.
Book a slot to visit Santa and his elves at the Grosvenor Centre this November.
Bookings are for 5 minutes each, for a maximum of 3 children and will go live around the 16th of November.
