Santa is coming to town – and he’s inviting families to join him for breakfast.

A festive breakfast with Santa is returning to the Dobbies Andover store, running from November 29 to December 24, and offering families the chance to meet Father Christmas, enjoy games and activities and make special memories together.

Ayesha Nickson, events programme manager at Dobbies, said: "Our Santa’s Breakfast event is extremely popular with families looking for a magical morning that everyone can enjoy.

"With festive fun and games, and a special meet and greet with Santa and a hands-on build-a-buddy activity with his elves, this event is great fun for the kids and a perfect way to start the countdown to Christmas."

The experience begins with a cooked breakfast in the Dobbies restaurant, with vegetarian and continental options available.

Children will have the chance to meet Santa, share their Christmas wishes and take part in family-friendly games and activities.

A highlight of the event is the toy-making workshop, where each child can build a collectable soft toy to personalise and take home.

Tickets are priced from £18 to £20 per child, depending on the date, and from £9 for adults.

The build-a-buddy activity is not suitable for children under three, but younger guests will receive a pre-made toy to decorate and join in the fun.

Customers can receive 10 per cent off Santa’s Breakfast tickets for a limited time using the code SB10 when booking online on the Dobbies webiste.

Tickets are on sale now, with an option to donate to Dobbies’ national charity partner, Alzheimer’s Research UK.
