YOU’D better watch out, you’d better not cry, you better not pout, and I’m telling you why – Santa Claus has come to town.
That list has been made, he’s checked it twice, and children are now able to find out if they’ve been naughty or nice, thanks to a Reading-based shopping centre.
On Santaday – sorry, Saturday – the jolly red-suited big-bearded man made his first appearance of the 2022 festive season at Broad St. Mall, much to the delight of the kids in girl and boyland.
They had a jubilee plotting a toyland round the Christmas tree with the most famous resident of the North Pole.
With the help of his Elves, Santa will be in residence right up until Christmas Eve.
There is no need to book, and good boys and girls can receive a present, and purchase souvenir photos and festive merchandise.
Places cost £5.
This weekend, Santa will be welcoming visitors from 11am-1pm and 1.30pm-5pm on Friday, 10am-1pm and 2pm-6pm on Saturday, and 11am-1pm and 2pm-5pm on Sunday.
Between Wednesday, December 7 and Friday, December 9, will be in situ from 11am-1pm and 1.30pm-5pm. The same hours will be kept Wednesday, December 14 and Friday, December 16
Saturdays, December 10 and 17, and Sunday, December 11 and 18, follow the same hours as the previous weekend.
Between Monday, December 19 and Friday, December 23, he will have words in his ear between 11am-1pm and 2pm-6pm.
Finally, on Christmas Eve, he will see excited children from 10am to 3pm, before loading up his sleigh for some festive deliveries.
