The World Famous Grotto moved to St Johns Market in 2017
The grotto, housed in Lewis’ store for decades, has long been a Liverpool Christmas favourite but this year that tradition will not continue. The grotto was moved to Rapid in 2010 and to St Johns Market back in 2017, after entrepreneur Guy Fennell stepped in to save the day as the grotto was at risk of closing for good.
The grotto has not been held at St Johns Market since 2019, having been unable to go ahead in 2020 due to the UK’s coronavirus pandemic restrictions. The 2021 event did not go ahead either, with a note on the grotto’s website reading: “We are disappointed not to be open this year, look forward to seeing you in 2022.
However, it has now been confirmed that the grotto will not open this year. A spokesperson for St Johns said: "We would love to put a grotto in the centre but there just isn't enough space in our malls for that to happen.
