VERY IMPORTANT CUSTOMER NOTICE:

Our policy on Professional Photographs in our Log Cabin is that we cannot take professional photographs without breaking and violating safety and social distancing protocols set by Government Guidelines and it is advisable, and safer, to refrain from breaking the 1m Covid-19 restrictions so we will not risk our customer/s safety.

We also feel children and families cannot get close enough at this time (sub 1m) to warrant classic family and portrait style images of their meeting with Father Christmas so we are taking the Government advice and are not taking any risks so keeping our Father Christmas visit very safe and Covid-19 secure. (many Grottos are risking the safety of the family and children)

We have been alerted that other ‘Christmas Grottos’ are classing the ‘Grotto’ as a ‘Photographic Studio’ and this is blatantly breaking and bending/twisting the law and the safety of all children and families especially anyone shielding.

To be allowed to take off your mask/visor and be allowed in close proximity to Father Christmas is a danger to everyone in such a limited space and we will not risking breaking Health & Safety guidelines by subjecting our visitors to such risks.

We take all Covid-19 protocols with great care and will not risk the health of any of our customers in this very strange and testing Christmas season.
