FAMILY and friends are invited to join in the festive fun, meet Santa and create unforgettable Christmas memories at Santa’s Arrival, a free-to-attend event at Dobbies’ Southport store on Sunday. 24 November 2024. 

Children can watch as Santa makes his grand entrance to kick start the festive season, accompanied by pantomime stars from All Souls Dramatic Club, who are performing Cinderella in the new year, and music from local Southport singer, Heather Gomersall. There will also be face painting for the little ones.

In addition to the fun, families can get a head start on their festive shopping with Dobbies’ 1-day-only discount voucher available to collect at Santa’s Arrival and redeem that day. Families are encouraged to dress in their favourite festive attire with Christmas jumpers warmly welcomed.

Families can also enjoy Dobbies’ Kids Eat Free offer which runs through the day, allowing children under the age of 16 to enjoy their food for free with every traditional adult breakfast and main course meal at lunch. This includes kids’ breakfasts, lunch menu or a pick ‘n’ mix meal, plus a drink. 

Andy Tyas, Dobbies’ Southport General Manager, said:- “We’re so excited to welcome families to Santa’s Arrival this year. It’s such a special time, and we’ve worked hard to create an experience full of festive cheer to kick-start the celebrations. From Santa’s entrance to the live performances to entertain the crowd, there’s something for everyone in the community to enjoy at the Southport store. We can’t wait to see the joy on the children’s faces as they see Santa arrive.”
