There will be carol singing from Betel UK on a number of dates - December 4, 6, 12, 15, 21 and 22 from 10am to 5pm. Carollers will be dressed in period costume and will be singing a mix of traditional and contemporary songs.

Come and bring your children to visit Father Christmas. There will be a free goodie bag for children aged between 3 and 10 years old. The bag will also include details of this year's colouring competition. A £25 gift card for The Entertainer will be awarded to the two winning entries!

On Christmas Eve, Monday, December 24, Father Christmas will interrupt his busy schedule to make a quick stop at King's Walk between 10am and 2pm. Bring your children to meet him before his busy night!
