Step out of the November chill and into Santa’s little corner of Christmas: a room filled with festive decorations, creative activities and presents waiting to be unwrapped.
A grotto originally means a picturesque cave: a tucked-away place that brings to mind magic and mystery. At Christmas, it becomes Santa’s festive hideaway, and we’re transforming Jarratt Hall Social Space into our own version for you to explore. Settle in to paint Christmas decorations to take home, collect a free present and lots of treats. Whether Christmas is a familiar tradition or something you’re discovering for the first time, come by yourself or bring friends no crafting experience needed. Just drop in and make yourself a little Christmas magic!
This is a completely free event for students living in UoB and Partner site accommodation just bring along your Student ID 🪪
Jarratt Hall social space has step-free access, but requires a keycard to get in, if you don't have one, don't worry! Our Residence Life assistants will happily let you in for the event. Follow the colourful flags to find the way!
