Santa Claus is returning to Aberdeen! From the 9th of November to Christmas Eve, visit Santa at the Bon Accord Centre and support Charlie House!
General Admission:
On arrival you will be met by Santa’s Elves who will confirm your booking.
An elf will guide you through winter wonderland, making your way towards Santa’s Workshop where you will meet the main man himself, pose for a photo and receive your gift. You will then make your way out of the workshop where you will have the opportunity to view your photos, purchase different merchandise packages customised with your very own images and take some photos at the festive photo booth. All profits will go to Charlie House, a local children's charity that aims to improve the quality of life for babies, children and young people in the North East of Scotland who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and provide support to their families.
Relaxed Session:
Relaxed sessions are designed to be accessible for any children that may have additional needs and sensitivity to light and noise. The sessions have been extended to 15 minutes per visit to ensure there is enough time for the children to meet Santa Clause in an environment that makes them as relaxed and as happy has possible.
As standard all flashing lights and music will be turned off but if you have any additional needs please ask the team of elves who will try to accommodate any requests to make your visit as enjoyable as possible. The Winter wonderland and Workshop is accessible by wheelchair.
This year's relaxed session will take place on Sunday the 1st of December from 9.30am to 11.30am and Tuesday the 3rd of December from 4pm to 6pm. If you wish to book a relaxed session for your family, please get in touch with us directly at louise.bone@charliehouse.org.uk to organise your booking. We respectively request that these slots are only booked by families that need a bit more support and time when visiting the workshop and that General Admission tickets are purchased for standard entry.
