Santa will be returning to his grotto at the Silver Mountain Experience on the outskirts of Aberystwyth later this week.

Organisers of the popular festive attraction between Aberystwyth and Ponterwyd, have confirmed that the Elves’ Workshop and Santa’s Grotto will be returning in December and will be opening a weekend earlier this year, due to sell-out success last year.

Running on selected dates from 11-23 December, visitors will be able to set foot in the busy elves’ workshop, as they prepare for the big day and meet Santa, who will have a present included for all children on the ‘good list’.

There will also be a range of other activities included within the ticket price. Visitors can enjoy Christmas cookie decorating, explore a special Reindeer Trail, the other surface attractions and The Silver Mountain Experience will be lit up in pretty colours as the sun sets.

The Christmas event at The Silver Mountain Experience is pre-book only at www.silvermountainexperience.co.uk/festive and each timed slot is for one group only.
