It’s an evening not to be missed with a full programme of events starting at 5pm right through to 8pm to keep the whole family entertained.
Plus there is a special guest appearances of Santa’s reindeers accompanied by two Shetland ponies – courtesy of the Phoenix Children’s Foundation – until 6.45pm. What’s more Ronnie the Rhino from Leeds Rhinos RLFC will be dropping in to say Hello!
