As the festive spirit descends upon Chelmsford, Rotary Mildmay is thrilled to announce the return of Santa's Grotto Beaulieu 2025, a heartwarming holiday experience designed to create cherished memories for families while supporting local charities. With tickets selling fast and only a few slots remaining, this enchanting event promises a personal visit with Santa Claus amid twinkling Christmas trees and seasonal cheer.
Scheduled for Saturday, 29th November, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM GMT at the Beaulieu Community Centre (Centenary Way, Beaulieu Square, Chelmsford, CM1 6AU), the grotto offers timed slots for children to meet Santa in person in the festively decorated Keep Hall.
Each young visitor will select a special gift to take home, ensuring a magical moment captured forever. Tickets are priced at just £5.80 per child, with no refunds, and all proceeds will benefit community initiatives through Rotary Mildmay and partnering organisations like the Chelmsford Garden Community Trust.
"This year's Santa's Grotto is more than just a visit—it's a pathway to joy and generosity," said Jane Thompson, Event Coordinator for Rotary Mildmay. "We've seen families light up year after year as their little ones whisper their wishes to Santa and walk away with a gift that sparks imagination. By joining us, attendees are also giving back to our community, funding vital local projects that make Chelmsford stronger."
