This December, Devonmade is bringing a touch of old-fashioned festive magic back to Paignton with The Beach Hut Grotto. 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.
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.
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 email

Friday 12th December, 5–8pm (Our Festive Evening)
