Reverse grotto at Erddig
Visit Father Christmas and Mother Christmas at Erddig's reverse grotto and help spread some festive kindness with a donation for the food bank.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
This Christmas, there's a different kind of grotto waiting for you at Erddig.
Visit Father Christmas and Mother Christmas at our reverse grotto, where the tradition of giving takes centre stage. Instead of receiving a gift, visitors are invited to bring a donation for Wrexham Foodbank to help support people in the local community.
It's a chance to enjoy a Christmas tradition while doing something kind for others.
The reverse grotto opens on 28 November and welcomes visitors from 10am to 3pm.
PLEASE NOTE: Father & Mother Christmas are only present on: Weekends - 10:00 - 15:00 Late evenings from 14 to 17 December - 16:00 - 18:00
Please check Wrexham Foodbank's website for information about the donations most needed.
