The Galleria in Hatfield is set to welcome Santa this November.

He will be in his giant ice mountain grotto, ready to greet families and hand out gifts.

The grotto will open every weekend starting November 30, and daily from December 18 to December 24.

Beyond Santa's grotto, The Galleria has planned a host of festive activities.

On December 7, 14, and 21, children can enjoy face painting near the Get Wild indoor play area.

December 21 and 22 will see a juggling elf entertaining visitors, potentially handing out festive gifts.

From December 21 to 23, the Potential Kids charity will offer a gift-wrapping service to raise funds.

There will also be various performances throughout the season, including busking duo Bill and Brook, the Welhat Ukes Ukulele Band, and Danny Janeway's festive performance.

Tim Stirling, centre director at The Galleria, said: "We are looking forward to all the festivities we have planned over Christmas.

"We are delighted to have so much festive activity going on at the scheme this year and are excited to welcome a whole host of performers to The Galleria to bring some festive cheer to our visitors."
