Clapham

I took my 5 (almost 6) year old son to a free santa's grotto on the first Saturday of December 2023 at the omnibus theatre in Clapham South West London. Hosted by friends of Clapham for a festive morning of family friendly arts and crafts, where they decorated gingerbread men. Cupcakes and did some colouring in before going in to see father Christmas. My son left with a gift from father Christmas, which was a new reading book and there were also teddy bears being given out to children.
