Letters to Santa
A free activity for little ones to get creative and let Santa know what they would like for Christmas at our special letter-writing station in the main shop at Scotney.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
Something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read ... and something to eat too! With festive writing paper, envelopes, seasonal stamps and stickers, and polar postbox all set up and ready, this free activity is a perfect add-on to a visit, or a pre-Christmas activity in itself. Either write the letter in the shop, or why not grab a hot chocolate and something tasty to eat and compose the letter by the fire in the tea-room?
