There will be a chance for Geordie children to follow a magical search to find Santa in Newcastle this Christmas.
The popular Search for Santa Trail will return to Newcastle city centre on Saturday, November 30 with NE1 working alongside Active Newcastle to invite 300 children to book their places on a festive activity trail that will take them through the city, culminating at Newcastle Cathedral where Father Christmas will be found, along with his elves.
Ticket bookings go live at 10.30 am on Thursday, October 24 - last year the free event launched to huge interest, so you're advised to get in early to secure your tickets.
This year, the Eventbrite ticket link goes live at 10.30am on Thursday, October 24. Tickets are free and NE1 is devoting 100 tickets to local community groups with 200 available for the general public.
The Search for Santa Trail is a free seasonal activity for families with children. Two activity stations will be positioned along the route giving children the opportunity to do Christmas arts and crafts as well as play seasonal games.
The trail reaches its conclusion at Newcastle Cathedral, where Santa will be waiting with his elves to meet the Santa hunters and reward them for their efforts with a Christmas gift.
Children will also be able to meet Santa to let him know what they would like for Christmas as well as enjoying a warming hot chocolate and the chance to take part in another Christmas craft activity. The Search for Santa Trails will start at 9.30am on November 30 with slots every 20 minutes.
