Whitefriars’ very own fairy welcomes children to the magical grotto (located in Whitefriars Square) with a sprinkle of fairy dust, a twirl and a nose wiggle which makes sure everyone will be able to see Father Christmas (sometimes he’s invisible). The elves invite the children into the activity workshop where each child receives a Santa hat to wear (and keep) and takes part in decorating their own personalised Christmas stocking, choosing from over 50,000 Christmas themed stickers. Then the elves and children will knock on the grotto door, where the children will meet Father Christmas in his cosy sitting room and whilst sitting in their own mini chair, they can let him know how good they’ve been. Parents are welcome to take photos of their own children with Father Christmas. Each child will receive a gift to go in their newly decorated stocking and a sticker badge to let everyone know they really have met Father Christmas.
