This is where and when you can see Santa in Chesterfield this Christmas

Vicar Lane Shopping Centre in Chesterfield is inviting customers to enjoy an interactive experience at Santa’s Post Office, where little ones can come and meet the elves before writing their letter to Santa, posting it in the magical post box and watching as it is sent to the North Pole.

Autism friendly sessions are available to book via Centre Management on [email protected] or 01246 234630.

Santa’s Post Office is open 11am to 5pm Saturdays and Sundays from November 20 to December 19, then every day from December 20 to December 23.

Families wishing to visit the Grotto, can then make their way through the magical winter wonderland, where they’ll find Santa surrounded by all the toys for all the good girls and boys. Every child will receive a gift, an ‘official good list’ certificate and reindeer food.

The Grotto is £8.50 per child (this includes a gift, official ‘Nice List’ certificate and reindeer food).

Photographs are £3.50, or £10 for three.

Santa’s Grotto and Post Office are located on Steeplegate, opposite F. Hinds.

Shaun Brown, Operations Manager, Vicar Lane said: ‘’We really wanted to help our shoppers experience the magic of Christmas this year (especially after last year!) and what better way to do it than to bring back Santa’s Grotto and Post Office!"
