About

The HARIBO Holly Jolly Grotto is a brand-new interactive Christmas experience in the Trafford Centre car park, Manchester, from 20 November to 24 December 2026. Every child becomes an official helper for Santa and his elves, completing festive challenges – designing a digital sweet treat at the Creation Station, bringing a giant cola bottle to life at the Fizz the Festive Cola Lab, exploring the glowing HARIBO Ring Reflections and posing on the interactive Cherry Seat – before a private, one-to-one meeting with Santa. Every child ticket includes a gift from Santa. Tickets from £20 per child and £8 per adult off-peak.
