Whether you’re searching for a Santa’s grotto near Tamworth, Birmingham, or anywhere across the West Midlands, Manor Farm Fruits offers something truly special this Christmas. Nestled in the Staffordshire countryside, our Santa experiences bring festive magic to a genuine working farm – a world away from crowded shopping centres. Families can choose between our immersive Walk-Through Experience, where little ones journey through themed rooms meeting Mrs Claus, Berry the Christmas Fairy, and a host of cheerful elves, or opt for our Cosy Cabin for a more intimate meet-and-greet with Father Christmas himself. Either way, children leave clutching their golden ticket gift, faces beaming with Christmas wonder.
Our Christmas grotto 2025 runs from 6th to 24th December, with timed slots designed to keep things personal and unhurried. New this year, Santa Paws sessions mean your four-legged family members can join the festive fun too. With activities like crafting magical reindeer food in our Oat Mill and writing letters to Santa included in every visit, there’s plenty to keep the whole family entertained. Just a short drive from Birmingham and easily accessible from across Staffordshire, Manor Farm Fruits has become the destination for families seeking an authentic, countryside Christmas – where the magic feels real and the memories last long after the decorations come down.
Pre-booking is essential for all Santa visits at Manor Farm Fruits, so secure your family’s spot early to avoid disappointment.

What does the time on my ticket actually mean?
The time is the start time for your visit to see Santa in the Grotto. Tickets are sold in 15-minute blocks, so your actual visit with Santa may be slightly later than the exact time printed.
