There will be plenty of photo opportunities in two giant Snow Globes and Santa’s Sleigh along with themed side stalls.
Look out for The Grinch, who will be causing mischief around the town centre along with Santa’s elves, who will checking if children have been naughty or nice before Santa arrives! All your favourite Princesses and Superheroes will also be in town throughout the afternoon.
