Christmas Activities

Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre is hosting festive face painting by Santa's Elves, photo opportunities in the Giant Snow Globe and a 'Letter to Santa' Workshop - plus personal appearances from Postman Pat and Jess the Cat on Sunday 21 December.

On Christmas Eve from 12 noon, you will also have the chance to meet Santa, who is coming to visit with one of his helpful little Elves with seasonal gifts for one and all.

Centre manager Jim Haveron said: "Postman Pat has confirmed he's coming to join us and with Santa making his final preparations, it's all go at the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre.

"So we're asking mums and dads to take a break from the Christmas madness and come down and join us for some free family fun.

"Whether it's designing your own Christmas card, writing your letter to Santa or a festive photograph in the giant snow globe, there's no better place to be."
