With his reindeer busy building up their strength ahead of their big Christmas Eve journey, Santa has decided to swap his traditional sleigh for something a little faster.
And rather than coming down the chimney, he’ll be making his grand entrance by speedboat!
A Christmas Breakfast with a Difference
The experience begins with Santa arriving across the reservoir in his very own speedboat, giving families a chance to watch his unusual journey before he makes his way to the café.
Once he’s safely back on dry land, Santa will join his special guests for a festive breakfast.
After everyone has enjoyed their food, children will have the opportunity to spend some time with Father Christmas, chat about their Christmas wishes and sit with him for photographs.
And, of course, no visit from Santa would be complete without a present.
Every child attending will receive a small gift from Santa, making the experience a lovely festive treat for younger visitors.
A Festive Family Experience at the Reservoirs
Set beside the water in north Cardiff, Lisvane and Llanishen Reservoirs have become a popular destination for families, with scenic walks, waterside views and a café overlooking the reservoirs.
The Breakfast with Santa event offers something a little different from the traditional grotto experience, combining a festive meal with the excitement of watching Santa arrive by boat.
Children under two can attend free of charge, provided they sit on an adult’s lap. If they require their own seat or food, a ticket must be purchased.
Every child will receive a small gift, including those attending free of charge.
