Bocketts Farm Or Priory Farm for meeting the big FC

[HungryHair]

I’ve visited Father Christmas with the kids at Bocketts Farm previously and thought it was lovely, not too tacky, nicely done. However, it’s really expensive this year (and I have three smalls to pay for) so was trying to think of alternatives. Has anyone ever been to Santa’s Grotto at Priory Farm? It’s half the price. Or should I just fork out the money and not think about the cost at Bocketts???

I went 2 years ago with DSs then 3 and 6 months (didn't have to pay for the baby). It was nice from what I remember, you walked through a decorated Christmassy grotto area then a few minutes with the big man. My 3yo was happy enough! The cafe there is really nice and there are two good (free) play areas if the weather's nice enough.
