Every child will receive a present when they visit Santa and his elves at a grotto inside Lincoln’s Waterside Shopping Centre from next month.
The grotto will be open between Saturday, November 27 and Christmas Eve, 11am to 5pm (4pm on Christmas Eve), Monday to Saturday, and 10.30am to 4.30pm on Sundays. It is located on the Waterside level close to New Look and Superdrug.
This year you will need to book your visit to see Santa either online here or by using the QR code, which will be displayed outside the grotto.
Tickets are priced at £6 with a 50p booking fee, and there will be an opportunity to purchase additional personalised items.
Only one family will go into the grotto to see Santa at any one time. The centre will also be offering people the opportunity to sanitise their hands before and after visiting Santa.
The Waterside Shopping Centre, which was opened by Princess Diana in 1992, will have several late-night shopping evenings in the run up to Christmas. It will be open until 8pm on November 18 and December 16 and 23, as well as until 7pm on December 2, 3, 4 and 9.
Centre manager Dean Cross told The Lincolnite: “We are delighted to bring it back again for another festive year in Lincoln.”

In the space of just a few months, Scunthorpe United have gone from potentially having nowhere to call home to now looking ahead to many more memories at Glanford Park, after a community interest company secured the Iron’s home for years to come.
Glanford Park has been bought by a not-for-profit company called The New Show Ground CIC, which has secured a deal that is anticipated to create around 100 jobs from developments around the ground, as well as 150 homes for older residents and people with complex needs.
North East Lincolnshire has become the first upper-tier council to approve a devolution deal for Greater Lincolnshire, despite multiple concerns raised by opposition members.
Councillors voted on the deal, which would see a mayor elected for a new authority covering Lincolnshire, North and North East Lincolnshire authorities. This new setup will control funding for housing, job creation, and public transport, including buses.
