Father Christmas is taking part in a live show at the King’s Hall in Ilkley this Christmas.
The Dear Santa live show is taking place on Sunday 21 December and will take the audience through a delightful journey through the wonders of Rod Campbell’s classic festive story, packed with festive fun, songs, and participation.
Santa is determined to deliver the most fantastic Christmas present to Sarah, but he doesn't get it right straight away! With the help of his cheeky Elf, he finally settles on something ‘perfect', just in time for Christmas Eve.

The Christmas cheer continues after the show, with the opportunity to meet Santa in his grotto after the show, where every child will receive an extra special gift!
There are two performances of Dear Santa Live on Sunday 21 December at 1:30pm and 4pm.
Tickets are available from bradford-theatres.co.uk and cost £18.50.
