About

Come along and meet the best Santa in Chesterfield in person at Chesterfield Market Hall. The magic of Christmas is back!

You can make your Christmas wish, and Santa will give you a present to go under your tree for opening on Christmas Day. Make sure the person bringing you doesn’t forget their phone so they can take a photo.

We want everyone to enjoy a visit with Santa so there are several relaxed sessions for children with learning disabilities or sensory and communication disorders. We’ll turn off the flashing lights, increase the background lighting and allow a little longer to meet with Santa.

Tickets on sale now!
