Speak to Santa for free

Sleigh Hello To Santa!

Date Posted 07/12/2022 Events

Have you sent off gift lists to Santa yet?  Don’t worry if you haven’t – we have your Santa visits covered, for a second year running!

This year, we are aiming to help those who want to take their children to see the big man but cannot afford to do so.

New research carried out on behalf of Welcome Break shows that despite three in five parents (60%) believing it is important to take children to visit Santa, a third of parents (31%) cannot afford the ticket price due to the rising cost of living. A further one in five parents (20%) say they cannot afford the travel costs involved.

We have managed to speak to the man himself to find some time in his busy calendar for all those who haven’t yet planned a trip to meet him.

On your journeys this festive period, stop off at Welcome Break locations on Saturday 10th December between 9am – 5pm to give Santa a call by dialling 07355983802.  

Little ones can share their Christmas wishes and ask Santa any questions they might have about the North Pole, busy elves or even his Christmas Eve plans after he’s made his epic journey across the globe!

Merry Christmas!
