Trafford Centre Announces HARIBO Holly Jolly Grotto Partnership
The Trafford Centre in Manchester has announced a unique partnership with sweet manufacturer HARIBO for its 2026 Christmas grotto experience . The "HARIBO Holly Jolly Grotto" will combine the tradition of meeting Santa with an interactive adventure through the colorful world of HARIBO .

Activities include designing digital sweet treats at the Creation Station, helping a giant cola bottle come to life with animated bubbles at the "Fizz the Festive Cola Lab," exploring glowing HARIBO Ring Reflections, and relaxing on an interactive Cherry Seat .
The experience is produced by Bakehouse Factory, award-winning creators of interactive theatrical events. Tickets start at £20 for children and £8 for adults during off-peak periods, with standard tickets from £25 for children and £10 for adults.
