Squires Christmas Grotto Opening 🎅🏻

21/11/2026 Community In aid of Princess Alice Hospice

Step into our enchanting grotto and be welcomed by one of Santa’s jolly elves before meeting the man himself.

Children can enjoy a lovely chat with Santa – it’s the perfect moment to ask those all-important questions! Every child will receive a wrapped gift to take home along with a special ‘I’ve Seen Santa’ badge to wear with pride.

New for this year, as part of the magical experience, children can create their very own magical reindeer food! They’ll mix special ingredients together to take home and sprinkle in the garden on Christmas Eve to help guide Santa’s reindeer safely to their doorstep.

Capture the magic of your child’s visit with Santa with a special photograph taken in his enchanting grotto.

Purchase a festive activity booklet complete with photograph when booking, to receive a discounted price.

Squires Garden Centre, 159 Burwood Rd, Walton-on-Thames KT12 4AR

From 9:45am

Please book here.

£1 from every child ticket will be donated to Princess Alice Hospice.

We will never be able to thank the team at Princess Alice Hospice enough for the love, care, dignity, and compassion they showed our papa and our whole family. They cared for my papa for a month, and then welcomed him back again for his final 8 days before he passed on 3rd April 2026. Every single member of staff became like family to us during the hardest time of our lives. Their kindness, patience, support, and genuine compassion will stay in our hearts and minds forever. They not only cared for our papa with dignity and respect, but they also supported all of us emotionally every step of the way. We are so grateful for everything they did for our papa and for the comfort they brought him in his final days. Thank you again to the entire team for the incredible work you do every day. You are truly special people, and we will never forget you.

I'm deeply grateful for the exceptional care and support provided by Princess Alice Hospice in Esher. Their warm and helpful staff made a significant difference during a difficult time after losing my grandfather to prostate cancer in July 2017. The bereavement team and therapy offered were invaluable in helping me cope with the loss and navigate my grief. I'm thankful for their kindness and dedication. Massive shout out to Lynne my bereavement councillor who was incredible with me, I’ll never forget you.

My Mum was there for 3 weeks before she passed away in Nov . The staff and level of care was amazing, she was loved by the staff. They couldn't of done more for her. Myself and my sister were also supported. We donated a large memorial feather in our Mums memory. It's such a shame that most if their funding comes from donations.

The call out night service team of Princess Alice were amazing with my Granny in her last few days. She was able to stay in her own home and have their amazing team look after her when we called them. I would like to especially say a big thank you to Camilla who was always so cheerful, professional and put us at ease when we really needed it. She would remember our family members names despite being called out to a number of houses every evening and was always a reassuring voice when she answered the phone. She made a real difference to my Granny’s end of life and I wouldn’t have wanted her to be under any other care. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
