Santa Visits the Market
Santa is visiting the Market!
Make sure you’re on the Good List when Santa visits the market on:
12th, 19th & 23rd December
12pm to 3pm
Keep your eyes peeled as Santa wanders around the market, stopping for photos and spreading festive cheer. Little ones may even receive a small gift token (subject to availability).
But Santa isn’t just visiting… he’s got some Christmas shopping to do! You might spot him picking up a Christmas cake mix, searching for a last-minute Christmas jumper, or even squeezing in a beard trim at the barbers before the big day.
Will you be the one to find him?
Free to attend – come along, say hello, and make some magical Christmas memories!
