About

Broad Street is welcoming some very special festive visitors each weekend in December during the run-up to Christmas, bringing a little extra magic to Reading.

This is the final festive character visit before Christmas, and we're saving a special one! Santa Claus and his trusty Elf are coming to town from 12–12:45 pm and 1:15–2 pm to meet little ones, pose for festive photos and spread a little Christmas cheer. It's the perfect chance to make a magical memory before the big day.

While you're here, why not explore Reading's Christmas Market, browse the shops for last-minute gifts and take a break at one of the town centre's many cafes or restaurants?
