Just watch for your number on the screen...oh, and don't forget to ask Santa for a selfie!
Christmas Craft Cabin
Whilst your little elves are waiting to visit Santa, we've got a stockingful of Christmassy crafts for them to enjoy including Snowman Baubles, Tree Decorations and other Christmas Crafts. Kids craft activities run at the same times and days as Santa visiting times.
Where is Santa's Lodge?
Santa's Lodge is located a few steps down the mall from our Saddler Street Entrance, opposite the Gift Company store and right next door to the Cooperative Bank. It looks amazing through the day and even more magical at night!
Quiet Hours
For children who struggle in busy environments and require quieter, calmer surroundings, Sunday mornings between 10 am - 11 am will be our 'Shhh! Reindeer sleeping' quiet hours.
This is where families can visit Santa outside of peak hours and see the lodge when it's not quite as busy. Santa's elves will be around to help children with craft activities, and Santa will be positioned outside of his lodge so children can choose how and when to approach him.
December Sun 8th - 10am - 4pm
December Sun 15th - 10am - 4pm
