Santa Specials
December 11th/12th and 18th to 24th
Every child wants to see Santa at Christmas, but busy shops with long queues and hour-long waits to see Santa can quickly drain your Christmas cheer... Avoid the queues and see Santa at the L&B where you can get into the real Christmas spirit and enjoy a truly magical experience.  Book well in advance for discount rates - booking forms available from August.
