Following 2024’s inaugural gingerbread themed grotto at south east London culture hub Woolwich Works, and last year’s sweet-themed one, this year it would appear to be back to basics. No fancy gimmicks – just a chat with Santa (including a photo opp). There’s no obvious suggestion you’ll get a gift but it’s definitely on the cheaper side of these things and as in previous years there’s a cosy Christmas trail that includes a reading corner and crafting stations.
