Beyonk | Santa’s Grotto at Ingleborough Cave

Highlights

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

THE TIME YOU BOOK IS THE TIME YOU SHOULD ARRIVE AT THE OLD SAWMILL CAFE, AT THE ENTRANCE TO INGLEBOROUGH ESTATE NATURE TRAIL, IN CLAPHAM VILLAGE.
You then have 60 minutes before your group gathers at Ingleborough Cave, which is a 1.23 mile walk away. If you think your group will need more than 60 minutes to walk 1.23 miles (a 30 minute stroll for a reasonably fit adult), please arrive earlier to allow additional time. We advise that the total experience lasts approximately 3 hours. The example itinerary below gives a feel for how a booking works.

The Old Sawmill Cafe, at the entrance to Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail, will be open all day with a Christmas themed menu! No booking is necessary, there is plenty of room so just turn up and feast!

EXAMPLE ITINERARY:

Tickets booked for 0845 slot. Arrive at The Old Sawmill Cafe at 08:45.
You then have 60 minutes to walk 1.23 miles to Ingleborough Cave, where your group will gather for the experience to start, so in this case 09:45. The experience then starts 15 minutes later, in this case at 10:00.
We advise that the experience in the cave takes approximately an hour, so you would leave the cave approximately 11:00.
You then have the 1.23 mile walk back to Clapham.
We advise that the total experience lasts approximately 3 to 3 1/2 hours.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:

If you arrive at the cave early, we have a marquee on site where you can keep dry, and there is a shop selling hot and cold drinks and snacks. Late arrivals will not be offered a refund.
A booking confirmation will be sent to you, and you must bring this with you, either printed, or on an electronic device. Please check junk mail if it doesn’t arrive in your regular inbox.
Ingleborough Cave, where your tour will start from, is not next to a road. Access is via Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail, a 1.23 mile maintained gravel trail at a steady incline of no more than 10°, so do factor this in to your timings. A minibus will shuttle run all day (weather permitting), and is available on a first come first serve basis, with priority going to the elderly and those with infants. If you wish to use the minibus, please leave adequate time to walk to the cave in the event that the minibus is full or unable to run.

Single width pushchairs (maximum of 60cm at the widest point) and front mounted carriers can be taken into the cave, but we advise against rear mounted carriers. Please factor in the walk and the terrain if you are bringing a pushchair.
Although Ingleborough Cave is wheelchair accessible, the volume of visitors we have for Santa’s Grotto can make wheelchair use unsafe. Persons with impaired mobility should contact us directly before booking tickets.
Well behaved dogs can be taken on a short lead, but where possible it is easier to leave them at home.
30 tickets are available for each time slot. This is a guided group experience.
