You can see Santa at the Cross Gates Shopping Centre, although it's certainly not in a Grotto.In fact, like much of the rest of the place, it's a disappointing dead loss.Perhaps the lack of Grotto's is an "elf and safety" issue? Have the gates on the roundabout stopped him getting through?

There's one at the garden centre on Garforth Cliff too. Haven't actually been to see him though, so can't comment on whether he is scary or not.

He was a nice santa when we went.We took our son to the garden centre as he loves the animated Santa band that is there, he was waving at Santa in his grotto so we decided to take him in to see him, predictably he (my son, not santa) screamed the place down as soon as he got in Santa's shed !! (I think the little one is too young yet.)

Maybe this is why... ... http://www.sketchysantas.com/You can almost hear some of those kids screams. When you get to the bottom of the page click 'older posts' to see more.

Santa's Grotto in Tong Garden Centre. Took the grandkids there yesterday. Me and my son Sam went walkabout i nthe centre while my wife n daughter stod in line. we were walking through the fish tanks looking at the fish, terrapins, lizards etc, when we strolled inot the pets corner bit. Do I feel guilty now. As we walked past the pen with lots of bunnies in there I said to Sam "Lets get outta here, Im starting to feel hungry" Talk about how loud some of those kids scream!!!!
