Escape Arts are raising funds for our Surprise Santa 'Grotto-on-the-Go' project. We take the big man, his wonderful grotto & presents to families who cannot access a traditional grotto or who have experienced trauma, family breakdown, bereavement & illness, to make lasting memories at Christmas.

Christmas is popularly referred to as 'the most wonderful time of the year', a time to come together and spend with loved ones and make memories. This narrative does not acknowledge the fact that many people experience isolation, mental ill health and hardship at Christmas as a result of factors such as financial difficulty, bereavement and family break-up. Our project seeks to address this by bringing families and community groups together to give presents, spread joy and make memories.
Christmas 2026 will be the TENTH Christmas Escape Arts has organised the Grotto-on-the-Go visits where we have previously visited hundreds of families across Warwickshire who are most in need of support at Christmas. We anticipate great need this year as a result of the ongoing cost of living crisis. Whilst we cannot change the circumstances for these families, we are able to bring them together in a unique experience to bring them joy and make lasting memories that will stay with them forever.
