Westerman’s Building (corner of Heretaunga Street East and Russell Street)

Ho, ho, ho – the big day is almost here, and Santa’s on his way to Heretaunga Hastings!
Meet Santa, post your letters, and snap a festive photo. Free entry, just drop in to any session, no booking required.

Santa is also welcoming tamariki to our neuro-affirming (low sensory) sessions in the Grotto, with no music, no crowds and low lighting. Bookings are essential for neuro-affirming sessions only– please contact Emma Buttle on emmab@hdc.govt.nz or 0279 456 970 for more information.

Santa’s Grotto is a drop-off point for new, unwrapped gifts and non-perishable Christmas food to support families in need through the Hastings and Napier Women’s Refuges. By donating, you’re helping bring joy and hope to those impacted by family violence. Drop off your contributions at Santa’s Grotto and together, let’s make this Christmas magical for everyone!
