As December 1st looms and the waft of cinnamon and gingerbread fills the air, Santa and his elves are getting ready for a Christmas full of magic and festive cheer as they prepare to dish out gifts to over-excited children across Kent.
But with over-excited Children comes anxious parents frantically filling the diary with a host of festive traditions, including meeting the man in red himself.
It’s best to get your child’s slot booked in advance to avoid tears and tantrums. So, to help you avoid such horrors, we have put together our list of the top three Santa meet and greets in Tunbridge Wells this year.
Salomons Estate
Join Salomons Estate this Christmas for a magical adventure with Santa and his elves. With a little mulled wine and enough mince pies, we’ve managed to bribe the North Pole to let Father Christmas visit us here in Tunbridge Wells on multiple occasions throughout December where families and their little ones can create special memories in the lead up to the big day.
