Tingley Garden Centre, in Tingley at the southern edge of Morley, opens its Christmas season on Saturday 14 November 2026, running right through the festive period.
The centrepiece is a visit to Santa in his grotto — with a gift for every child — combined with a walk through an illuminated Light Trail of festive displays, craft activities and photo opportunities. Combined grotto and trail tickets are from £21.90 for children and £11.95 for adults, and new for this year a trail-only ticket (from £4.95 for children, £9.95 for adults) lets you enjoy the lights without the grotto.
Also new for 2026, a Winter Food Market serves hot festive food and drinks, and the centre’s Lemax Winter Village — hundreds of animated miniature buildings — is completely free to visit, with no booking needed.
Booking ahead is recommended for the grotto, as slots go quickly. Details: North Leeds Mumbler Christmas guide
