Visit Santa at Aden Country Park - Aden Country Park

Santa's Here at Aden This Year!

'Tis Christmas at Aden, with magic in store, and Santa is waiting behind the Grotto door..
With a "Ho, ho, ho!" and a smile full of cheer, he's come for a visit to Aden this year.
So bring along the children, come in from the cold, there's Christmas-time magic for young and for old.
Each child who meets Santa will leave with a treat, a special gift too, making Christmas complete!

Join the Friends of Aden on Saturday 5th December 2026 for a magical Christmas experience at Aden Country Park, as part of our wonderful Victorian Christmas Fayre.

Step into Santa's Grotto, where children can meet Santa and his Elves, share their Christmas wishes and receive a special gift and sweet to take home. It's the perfect way to add a little extra Christmas magic to your day!

And there's plenty more to enjoy while you're here! Make a day of it and soak up the festive atmosphere, with over 30 local craft and food stalls, Christmas Carols from the Ugie Voices, a Victorian Costume Competition, Festive Storytelling with Pauline Cordiner, and a chance to explore the Aberdeenshire Farming Museum, which will be open for the day - plus lots more festive fun!

Advance booking is required for Santa's Grotto.
One child per ticket.

All proceeds go towards supporting the wonderful work of the Friends of Aden SCIO, Scottish Charity No. SC047867.
