Christmas at Tingley Garden Centre — Santa’s Grotto & Light Trail from 14 November

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
