Santa will also be opening his 5d Personalised Grotto Experience on November 22 and will be there to greet the children until Christmas Eve.

Visitors to Santa’s Grotto will be immersed in a stereoscopic 3D visual experience which incorporates a fourth dimension of wind, lights and elf dust!

Each child visiting Santa’s Grotto at either Westfield London or Westfield Stratford City will receive a gift and have the opportunity to feature in the film, helping Elbow on his journey to help save Santa’s presents from the good-elf-turned-bad.
