SANTA has been hard at work making his list and checking it twice.

Now he’s ready to spread holiday magic to all the little shoppers at Broad Street Mall.

Very soon families in Reading will be able to step into Santa’s enchanting grotto in Centre Square.

Steven Connolly, centre manager at Broad Street Mall said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming families back this festive season for a chance to meet Santa and enjoy wonderful performances from local choirs.’’

A magical visit with Santa, a gift, photos and festive merchandise can all be found at the Broad Street Mall in the days leading to Christmas.

Local choirs will be spreading festive cheer with their melodies, and visitors are invited to come along to enjoy performances throughout the holiday season.

There’s no need to book to see him—families are welcome to drop by anytime.

It costs £6 per visit, including a gift for each child.

Photo opportunities and festive merchandise will also be available to purchase separately.
