Finding a fun and inexpensive place to visit Santa can be a challenge at this time of year.
To make it a bit easier, I’ve made a list of some of the best places in Surrey you can see Father Christmas in 2023.
If you’re near the Hampshire border take a look at my top picks for seeing Santa in Hampshire. If you’re near Berkshire and want to give the kids a big treat, Lapland UK is incredible! We also love LEGOland at Christmas too!
