Santa's elves have delivered a special post box to the grotto this morning. Just the right size for little hands to post their letters to Santa!

Santa in the Shambles!
Santa is coming back to York for the St Nicholas Fair! Santa will be sending his builder elves to construct him his very own log cabin to house his workshop and festive study just off the world famous Shambles!
... “Santa’s helpers” will be on hand to entertain our little visitors in the queue with iconic brands and fun facts about our chocolate city in Christmases past.
Families will then be invited into Father Christmas’s “old fashioned sweet shop”, where they can take part in some fun chocolate-themed activities.
One family at a time will be called through to Santa in his cosy study where they can make their Christmas requests to the big man himself and pose for a special commemorative photo which will be instantly printed to take home. A special present will then come rolling down the workshop conveyer belt for each child to keep as a reminder of their special visit with Santa.
