Half Term Cativity!

This October Half Term, we're asking little visitors to help us a design a new mascot for the Grotto!


After collating responses to our survey, which we ran over the summer, we're working on developing a Shell Grotto Cat character, who will be a guide for our younger visitors.


We've had cats living at the Grotto for decades... Legend has it that they watch over the Grotto - perhaps they're also keeping the secret of who made this magical place, when and why!


If someone in your family, or at school, would like to design us a cat character, the sheet is here and it can be emailed to us or dropped through the door if you're nearby.


There's a competition too - we'll pick some of our favourite designs and the winners will be receive free entry to the Grotto for a year and a £10 voucher to spend in the shop, either online or in store.
