Santa Claus is coming to Pier Point on Torquay seafront

Get ready for a magical Christmas experience like never before! The Bay of Lights Christmas Illumination Trail in Torquay returns on December 1 - 31. Pier Point will be open daily throughout the season (except Christmas Day). With a special guest joining the team - Santa Claus himself is making a very special stop every day from Dec 16 - 23 from 12 to 6pm.

Embark on a journey through the twinkling lights, immersing yourself in the festive spirit. As you stroll along the enchanting trail, make sure to make a pitstop at Santa's Grotto at Pier Point between. It's the perfect opportunity for families to create cherished memories during the most wonderful time of the year.

Giving Back to the Community

In the spirit of giving, Pier Point is proud to announce that all profits generated from Santa’s Winter Wonderland Christmas Grotto during this joyous season will be donated to Rowcroft Hospice, a charity close to our hearts.

"Choosing to support a hospice, especially one as invaluable as Rowcroft, holds a special place in our hearts. Hospices provide a sanctuary of compassion and comfort for those facing the most challenging moments of their lives. They offer not only expert medical care but also emotional support and a sense of dignity during a time when it is needed most. Rowcroft, with its unwavering commitment to providing exceptional end-of-life care, aligns perfectly with our values of compassion and community. By donating all profits from our Christmas Grotto to Rowcroft Hospice, we aim to contribute to their remarkable work and help ensure that those in need receive the care and support they truly deserve." - Lorraine Arnold, Owner of Pier Point Bar & Restaurant.

“Here at Rowcroft, we are thrilled to have the support of Pier Point. Money raised at the grotto will mean that our nurses and other healthcare professionals can support patients and those closest to them across South Devon” Alison Upton, Philanthropy Manager, Rowcroft Hospice.
