Please Note
Santa will not individually meet each group, he will meet the Children in his Toy Workshop as part of a group, this is the safest option for both customers and staff.
Santa is an older gent and we don't want to put him at any risk before his big gig on Christmas Eve, so social distance will be maintained throughout the performances.
