Best Christmas grotto around tunbridge wells

[Enjoyingmycoffee1981]

I cant quite believe that I am being this organised, most unlike me.

However, my eldest child, at 5, is now of an age to actually "get" father christmas and the associated fun. My youngest is just 2.

The Christmas grottos around here seem to get booked up so quickly. Anyone recommend any one particularly? We are just outside tunbridge wells. I am thinking penhurst or hop farm at the moment. Went to Hever last year. It was fantastic and will definitely return when the children can appreciate it a bit more (the castle etc was obviously lost on them).

Thank you!

I took my two daughters last year to Brookside Garden Centre, it was very good with lots to see and divided into lots of different area's with elf houses, streams and a moonlit pool complete with deer. I think that the best part was that we went in with an elf to show us around and only one family enters at a time - it really does feel peaceful and magical. I really recommend it and have booked again for this year. Only downside is that it seems that they often run late and there is a wait regardless of what time your entry is.
