A Swindon performing arts company is offering children and their parents the opportunity to meet, greet and enjoy a story-time session with Santa in the run-up to Christmas.

‘Stories with Santa’ will staged on December 7 and 8 by Revolution Performing Arts, Revolutionary Tuition Centre in Redhouse, North Swindon.

The 45-minute sessions will get the youngsters into the festive mood. Each session will involve Santa and his Elves telling stories, then meeting and greeting all the children and each child will receive a ‘winter’ gift.

Fi Da Silva Adams, founder of RPA, said: “This is a new offering from us this year to just bring some joy to children in our town and from further afield.

"There are 16 sessions to book on to across the weekend. We’d like to thank Santa for giving up a weekend in the really busy month of December to bring a little festive cheer to our guests!”

‘Stories with Santa’ tickets are £15 (plus booking fee) and can be booked online in advance at bit.ly/3CgJnvH

The RPA team will also be offering access to school holiday cover this December through Wiltshire County Council for both private bookings and for those who are eligible under the county’s FUEL programme.
