Father Christmas will captivate little ears with the story of the first Christmas. Children will then be able to help our elves make some reindeer food and receive a small gift to take home and enjoy.

Quiet session
On Sunday 3 December at 4.15pm we will be offering a quieter session of our Storytime with Father Christmas event, which will deliver the same magical experience in a more relaxed environment. Fewer tickets are available so we're able to offer more support to individual children, and background music and lighting levels will be reduced.
