You: you or anyone acting with your authority or permission.

3. Price and payment
The prices of the bookings are as advertised at the point of booking which are subject to change without notice. This price includes an age appropriate wrapped present as well as the experience of meeting Santa. The wrapped present is non-transferable and cannot be exchanged and has no cash value. Should the wrapped present be broken or damaged please let us know within 48 hours of your visit and a suitable replacement can be collected from the grotto at a convenient time.
When inside the grotto, a photographer will take a maximum of 3 different poses, and you will have the opportunity to purchase a photograph souvenir on the day from the onsite photography team. Please note that you cannot re take photographs once you have left the grotto.
A £1.50 booking fee applies to every ticket which reflects the cost of managing your booking, this site and the processing fee we are charged by the payment provider.
No booking is confirmed until the full value has been paid by credit/debit card which will be deducted at the time of booking.
4. Refunds and Changes
Bookings cannot be exchanged or refunded. You acknowledge and agree that the cancellation rights contained in the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/3134) do not apply to bookings made on this website.
Please make sure you specify the correct date and time as alterations and changes can’t be made once you have booked and paid for your visit. If you are late then you will be invited to join the back of the standard walk-in queue if time permits.
AE or BSS reserves the right to cancel your booking at any time and if this occurs you will be entitled to a full refund of the monies you have paid only.
5. Closure of the grotto or variation
Whilst we do not anticipate a forced closure on account of Covid-19 we set out here what impact such a closure would have on your booking.
If, as a result of official guidance from the government or other regulatory body the Grotto must be closed at the time of your booking then you will receive a refund of monies paid minus the booking fee.
If we make alterations to the way the Grotto operates as a result of new legislation or government guidance which means the Grotto can remain open then you will not be entitled to a refund, this includes the option of making your visit a virtual one.
6. Delivery of booking confirmation
Booking confirmation, which contains your booking number, type, date and time, will be sent by email to the email address given at the time of booking. Customers will need to show their ticket on arrival where an elf will scan the QR code and check you in.
7. Use of personal details and Data Protection
We publish a full privacy policy detailing what personal information we collect, how we use and store it, and reminding you of your rights regarding this data.
You will be given the chance to ‘opt in” to BSS’ marketing list at the point of booking and if you choose this option AE will share your email address and name with BSS, who will store and use your information inline with their Privacy Policy.
Payment is taken via a secure payment gateway, Stripe, and this data is not stored by AE.
All professional photographs taken by AE or its appointed sub contractor will be uploaded to a third party supplier who, if you opt to purchase a digital package from the photography stand, will process your order via QR redemption, or any other reasonable digital processing means, and in line with that third party’s Privacy Policy. By proceeding with the booking you hereby agree to allow all photographs taken to be uploaded to such third party whether or not you purchase a digital package. You must inform a member of staff at the grotto on the day of your visit if you do not wish to have your photographs uploaded to a third party.
AE will process your information in line with its Privacy Policy
