The Beach Hut Grotto - at Devonmade
A Nostalgic Christmas Experience
This December, Devonmade is bringing a touch of old-fashioned festive magic back to Paignton with The Beach Hut Grotto – a brand new take on the traditional Father Christmas experience. Inspired by the simple Christmas joys many of us remember from childhood, it’s a heartfelt nod to the days of following the footprints through Rossiters Department Store to meet Father Christmas himself.
This year, we’re transforming a real-life beach hut into a cosy Christmas grotto – a seaside twist on a much-loved tradition. Families can turn up, soak in the festive atmosphere, and enjoy a simple, affordable Christmas experience that captures the true spirit of the season.
There’s no need to book — simply turn up on the day to see Father Christmas and Mrs Christmas. Entry is just £5 per child, tickets can be purchased at Devonmade which includes a locally produced gift to take home.

The Beach Hut Grotto will be open at Devonmade, 142 Torquay Road, Paignton on:
Saturday 6th December, 10am–3pm
Friday 12th December, 5–8pm (Our Festive Evening)
Saturday 20th December, 10am–3pm
Free child spaces
To make the experience accessible for everyone, there will also be a number of complimentary tickets available each day for families who might not otherwise be able to visit. If you would like to receive free tickets please fill out the form to reserve. We want every child to have the chance to enjoy the magic. Please note free tickets are limited.
Local businesses or individuals who would like to sponsor a free space for a child fill out the form (left) — your kindness will help spread Christmas joy throughout our community. Join us for a heartwarming, seaside Christmas experience that’s all about tradition, simplicity and joy.
