Here's what some of our visitors thought of last year's event:

"The most magical place. The first time we had been to the hub and so glad it was Christmas time 🎅🏻❤️❄️. The staff (I mean elves!) went above and beyond for the children it truly was perfect. Santa was just fantastic with the kids and a nice addition that the children got to pick the toys themselves. A brilliant selection of great toys. " Nicola Davies, Google review.

"My little ones love this place, and the Santa experience is absolutely brilliant. Wish I could give 6 stars" Andy Webster, Google.

"Thank you Riverside Hub for another fabulous visit. We ALL had a great time (adults and children). The Christmas experience was fun and magical with super presents too. Thank you!" Lynsey Payne, Facebook.

We're running a whole day of S.E.N.D. Christmas Events on Friday 1st December, so if you have a child with special educational needs or disabilities, this would be a great day to book.

This year we're launching a pay-by-instalments option, where you can reserve your tickets for just £25. Find out more.

Christmas sees the Hub at it's very best - festive fun for the whole family.

 We do hope you can join us this year.

Best wishes,

Mr. & Mrs. Elf

"We have visited every year with my little girl and her best friend since they were born! Today was our 3rd Christmas visit! The whole experience is so beautiful and we create amazing memories!" Lisa and Bea, email, December 2022
