Dear Santa: Tickets now on sale for Dubai’s magical festive grotto

It may only just be September, but if you’re already thinking about ways to celebrate Christmas in Dubai, then listen up: one of the city’s most magical festive experiences has just dropped tickets. Dear Santa is a new festive experience coming to New Covent Garden Theatre next to Mall of the Emirates from December 4 to 25, inviting children (and adults!) to step into a magical winter wonderland. A festive grotto with a twist, Dear Santa takes you on a festive journey with Quill, the letter sprite who looks after every child’s letter to Santa. Across six enchanted rooms, the story unfolds with Quill and his friends before children get to share their letter with Santa in his grotto. A post shared by Dear Santa (@dearsantaexperience) Early bird tickets are now available here, priced from Dhs157 for children and Dhs114 for accompanying adults. There’s a reduced fee of Dhs50 for babies under 12 months. There’s a premium fee for weekends and dates closer to Christmas (from December 18 to 25), when fares start from Dhs181 for children and Dhs133 for adults. All child tickets include a gift from Santa, with professional photos available to purchase at an additional cost. Guests are encouraged to arrive early and settle into the Wishing Nook where they can write their letter to Santa, if they’ve not already brought it with them. There’s everything you’ll need to write your letter, and helpful elves on hand for those needing a little inspiration.
