Santa makes his return to Crystal Peaks this November
Christmas magic returns to Crystal Peaks this November as Santa Claus makes an appearance.
His Grotto returns from November 21, initially at weekends only and then opening daily from December 1 and all the way through to December 24.
The 2026 grotto will be located in the unit beside Superdrug in the Crystal Peaks Central Atrium.
Tickets cost £8.50 per child and £1 per adult, with up to four children permitted per booking.
The launch of the grotto coincides with the start of the centre’s popular Christmas lights display, once again including around 40 giant snowflakes as part of the Children’s Hospital Charity’s annual Christmas fundraising campaign.
Every year, hundreds of sponsored snowflakes decorate the exterior of Sheffield Children’s Hospital and other sites across the city, with businesses, schools, community groups and thankful families raising more than £250,000 for The Children’s Hospital Charity.
“We are delighted to be joining The Children’s Hospital Charity again for their 2026 Christmas campaign,” said Crystal Peaks centre manager Lee Greenwood.
“Crystal Peaks sees itself as very much at the heart of the community and Sheffield Children’s Hospital touches the lives of so many people every year.
“We hope that our visitors will once enjoy seeing the snowflakes and will want to support this outstanding city charity as much as we do.”
