Santa’s Secret Grotto Comes to GXCA – A Magical Christmas Experience for Families in Gerrards Cross

From 13th to 24th December 2025, GXCA Gerrards Cross Community Association will be transformed into a truly magical festive destination as “Klaus in the Haus” presents: Santa’s Secret Grotto,  an immersive Christmas experience designed to delight children and adults alike.

A magical journey to meet Santa

Santa’s Secret Grotto is far more than a traditional grotto visit. Families are invited to step into a beautifully crafted festive world where every detail has been thoughtfully designed to spark imagination and wonder. Along the journey, children will meet Santa’s helpers, take part in a candy cane treasure hunt, enjoy hot chocolate, write their letter to Santa, and capture unforgettable festive photos,  including a visit to Santa’s real sleigh.

Each child will also receive a special gift from Santa, making the experience both memorable and meaningful.

Designed by a world-class production designer

What makes this event truly special is the creative vision behind it. Santa’s Secret Grotto is designed by Sonja Klaus, an award-winning Production Designer with an extraordinary career in film, television, and live events. Her credits include major productions such as Gladiator, A Christmas Carol, Tomb Raider, Kingdom of Heaven, American Gangster, Taboo, and Terminator: Dark Fate.

Sonja also spent a decade as Creative Designer for Lapland UK, bringing large-scale festive experiences to life for thousands of families. With over 35 years of experience, she brings her signature attention to detail, storytelling, and atmosphere to ensure this is a truly magical and immersive Christmas event.
