SANTA Claus is coming to town on Christmas Eve, spending time with the children of Middlewich in a special charity event.

Along with his elves, organisers Sarah Pearce and Julie McKerron, he will visit the Boar’s Head in Kinderton Street between 4pm and 6pm, and invites all children and parents to attend the ‘A Story with Santa’ event.

Activities will help make the most of the Christmas Eve excitement, with face painting by Face It, Christmas crafts, biscuit decorating and colouring all leading up to meeting Santa.

Settle down with a mince pie, biscuit and hot chocolate as Santa reads ‘The Night Before Christmas’.

Each child will be invited to sit and chat with Santa, who will pose for photos and hand out Christmas gifts.

Tickets cost £5 for children while parents go free, and bookings can be made through the Boar’s Head.

All profits will go towards the Joshua Tree, a charity supporting families across the North West living with the life-changing experience of childhood cancer.
