Tickets for Santa's Grotto cost between £2.50 and £5 each, with all proceeds to be donated to the outlet’s local charity partnerships, Newlife and Lichfield Festival.  

Another festive event on offer will be Breakfast with Santa, starting on December 5 and running until Christmas Eve. 

Hosted at Meli Cafe at McArthurGlen West Midlands, the breakfast will last for one hour with each child being served food, a drink, and a Christmas gift from Santa - who will also be singing some festive jingles. 

David Jackson, Centre Manager at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet West Midlands, said: “We’re thrilled to bring the Christmas spirit to life with a range of festive activities for all our guests. 

"From the Community Christmas Switch to Santa’s Grotto and Breakfast with Santa, it’s the perfect opportunity for families to add magic to the holiday shopping experience."
