Any good Santa Grottos in Glasgow?

[ilikeyoursleeves]

DS has just turned one and has never met Santa! I am going to take him to meet the man himself but not sure where to go? Any advice would be great ta

[geordieminx]

Ia the new lanark one at the Heritage site?

[BexieID]

trixy, my camera is a digital slr one and cost £500! I like my photography!

[geordieminx]

Trixy!! How the devil are you!!

[Chrysanthamum]

Yes geordieminx on the heritage site. I've heard its great but dont know about prices or booking.

[geordieminx]

Does anyone know anything about Santas train ride as Crossford?

Had a look at the New Lanark thing, but tbh I think it would be wasted on ds as he is only 18 months?

[trixymalixy]

Geordie!!! Your DS is never 18 months!!!

How time flies!

I'm good thanks, how are you?

Lovely news about Vio.

The Crossford one sounds good.

[geordieminx]

Trixy - you are friends with one of my friends on Facebook - Gillian?

Are you working at the moment?

How old is B now?

[trixymalixy]

Yes, we do sing and sign classes with Gillian. How do you know her?

Yes, I'm working 3 days a week, but going back full time next year .

How about you?

B is 22 months!!

[geordieminx]

Igo to play group with her.

Boo hiss to full time!

If you fancy a wee coffee sometime facebook me?

[RipMacWinkle]

Hi - I wondered about the Crossford one too. DS is just over 2. I'd be keen to see a review?

p.s. Small world - I think I know which Gillian you're talking about. We went to her classes too

[geordieminx]

I hav seen a few reviews - some not so great, but I think they mostly had older children. I think for tots the crossford would be fine - ds would just be happy with the train ride.

Probably is same Gillian and her sing and sign!

Whereabouts are you Rip?

[RipMacWinkle]

There are a lot of roundabouts here....

[geordieminx]

Got ya.

I'm near a tea cake factory

[RipMacWinkle]

Hee hee - so cryptic but so obvious if you live here

[BexieID]

Did someone say teacake?

[trixymalixy]

mmm teacakes....

geordie, will facebook you.

[midnightexpress]

Did I hear cake being mentioned?

There's also Mrs Claus at Pollok House. There's a lady on the door (who looks suspiciously like Mrs Claus in the photo) who keeps telling us about it when we go for a coffee in the cafe there. End November till Xmas I think.

Frasers is great ive took mine there every year you go on a sleigh ride then through a magical forrest to see him you get a great pressie and photo for about £6 which i remember its really good but you need to phone and book a slot as really busy.

[NotFromConcentrate]

We're off to see Santa at New Lanark this year :) We've been to Corssford before and that was quite good. Frasers is OK in theory but you go in groups and the people we were in with were a nightmare

'tis a small world - I went to Sing and Sign with (?THE) Gillian, and hail from a place with many roundabouts!!!

The Hillhouse in Helensburgh are open 3 and 4th Dec , also 10th/11th Dec. You pay a donation to visit as it's National Trust property then the kids get to visit Santa or Mrs Claus for only £2 . They also have a craft workshop where the kids make their own crackers ! Again £2. All this is done beautifully with the volunteers showing patience towards young children, would thoroughly recommend.

[AngelCauliflower]

We go to Dobbies every year. Ds doesn't want to go anywhere else.

We booked the visit santa on the snow at Snow Factor in Braehead. Was great last year! www.snowfactor.com/kids/santa/
