Santa will once again be visiting Edinburgh's Christmas with his elves to delight the little ones with our celebrated Santa’s Stories experience.
The magic of Christmas is brought to life, as Santa and his helpers make Edinburgh their home for the season! The halls of his cabin are decked, the hot chocolate simmering away and blankets toasted to keep your tootsies warm as we settle in for a festive tale and to meet the big man himself. All performances last approximately 20 minutes.
Relaxed, Audio Described and BSL interpreted sessions will be available. Check the listing when it's time to book.
