Who can go and meet Santa?

Absolutely anyone and everyone can meet Santa – even your 4-legged friends, as some of the experiences are dog-friendly.

John Lewis runs a quiet hour every Sunday to accommodate children who have special education needs, or those who would just prefer to visit when it's quieter.

Unfortunately the Santa Tea Party is not dog-friendly and there is no quiet hour available for this.
