What's On this Christmas
Santa's Grotto – Level 1
28 November – 23 December
The big man himself is moving into St Enoch this Christmas. Step into Santa's Grotto on Level 1 for the traditional experience: meet Santa, share your Christmas list, take home a photo to treasure and a gift for every child.
Best of all, every penny from Grotto tickets goes to SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health), our Charity of the Year. We're aiming to raise £10,000 – so every visit really does make Christmas brighter for someone else.

- Saturday 28 & Sunday 29 November
- Friday 4 – Sunday 6 December
- Friday 11 – Sunday 13 December
- Friday 18 – Sunday 20 December

Panto Meet & Greet – 27 to 29 November (times TBC)

There will also be the chance to win a family ticket, plus dinner, on our social channels, so watch out.
Sanjeev Kohli Meet & Greet Q&A – Thursday 3 December
Still Game's Sanjeev Kohli is coming to St Enoch to talk about his brilliant new Glasgow comedy, Coconut – and he plays every single character in it.
Suki Panesar is back in Glasgow after 30 years. Ageing parents who need him, a job that terrifies him, an old love and a gang that hasn't forgotten him. Too Scottish for India and too Indian for Scotland, Suki is pulled apart by two cultures. Think Derry Girls meets The Wonder Years – with a Glasgow twist.
Coconut starts life as a ten-minute pilot, with a full series launching next year – with your support. Watch the pilot for free, then get your series pass in time to watch the Coconut Christmas Special live with Sanjeev. Come along, ask your questions and meet the man himself.
