Storytime with Father Christmas

Add a little magic to the festive season with a visit to see Father Christmas as he pops into Ness for two weekends this year.

The man in red is visiting once more to hear your Christmas wishes and as you settle down by the fireside, to tell you stories of his adventures. He’s told us he’ll bring a few sacks of gifts for the children too.

There will be time for each child to have a chat and if you’d like to, bring a letter to Father Christmas on the day. He loves to read what you’ve been up to and all the kind things you’ve done through the year.
