Have you started thinking about the festive season?

Father Christmas will be returning to Reading this Christmas with a visit to Broad Street Mall alongside a whole host of activities.

From November 24 to December 24, families are being invited to come along to Santa’s Grotto in Central Square where they will get to meet Santa and receive a gift to put under the tree.

Local choirs and entertainers will also visit the mall throughout the holidays, including the Reading Operatic Society on December 2 and 3 and the Silver Tones choir every Tuesday in December until Boxing Day.

The Barbarettes will also complete the musical line-up on December 16 from 11 am to 1 pm.

Steven Connolly, General Manager Broad St. Mall says: “We are super excited to be welcoming families back again for another festive season. Not only can visitors come along to meet Santa, they will be able to listen to some great performances from local choirs, which is sure to get everyone into the spirit of Christmas.”
