SANTA’S sleigh is on its way, and he can’t wait to meet lots of little shoppers in Central Square.
Families can drop by anytime on selected dates to meet the man in red, with no booking needed.
Children visiting Santa will receive a gift, and photos and festive merchandise will also be available to buy.
Steven Connolly, Centre Manager at Broad Street Mall said: “We’re thrilled to welcome families back to Broad Street Mall to celebrate the most magical time of the year.
“It’s always wonderful to see our community come together and share the Christmas spirit.”
Adding to the seasonal sparkle, local musicians will perform magical melodies on Saturdays in December, with shoppers invited to pause, sing along, and soak up the atmosphere.
The centre will also be running multiple competitions via Broad Street Mall social media, with opportunities to win prizes.
Santa will be at Broad Street Mall on multiple days between Saturday, November 22, and Tuesday, December 24.
Tickets to visit him cost £6 per child.
And on Saturday, December 13, local charity Launchpad will host a tombola, giving visitors the chance to win stocking filler gifts in exchange for small donations to help support efforts to end homelessness in Reading.
