He has barely left Croydon since appearing in Miracle on 34th Street, but Santa Claus is coming to town again with a different show in December.

Family show Santa Claus and the Night Before Christmas will be at Fairfield Halls from Saturday, December 5 to Thursday, December 24.

Set on Christmas Eve, Santa and his cheeky elves Charlie and Kara must help prove to non-believing little boys and girls that he is real.

Father Christmas pulls out all the stops, with magic tricks, songs and stories in this interactive show which features bubbles and snowflakes falling over the audience.

As an added Christmas treat, all of the good boys and girls in the audience can meet Santa after the show and get a present – don’t forget your camera.

Tickets cost £14 and £16 adults or £11.50 and £14 children. Go to www.fairfield.co.uk or call 020 86889291.
