Santa to Abseil From Dizzying Heights at Great Outdoors Christmas Festival

Santa Claus is coming to town and he is set to make quite the entrance! He is set to launch himself off the roof of the Great Outdoors on Chatham street on 9 December. Lowering himself slowly down to ground level as snow blows around him and Christmas tunes fill the air, there really is no better way to get into the Christmas spirit.

Kicking off with a street party at 1pm, Santa will make his grand entrance at 2pm before retiring to his grotto to find out what all of the kids want for Christmas. He might even have a treat or two in his big red sack.

To add to the fun there will be Christmas music, large outdoor games, face painting, hot chocolates and lots more to enjoy on the day. Children can even write their letters to Santa and post them in the Santa post box.

The Christmas Festival was set up by the owners of the Great Outdoors, Ken Costigan and Derek Moody, in a bid to create a fun and festive event for all the family that will not cost a penny. “What better way to kick off our festive season than having Santa come to the Great Outdoors. We would love to see families join us on 9^th December to celebrate Christmas. The children will love seeing Santa abseiling from such a height and there will be the added bonus of free treats for everyone in the audience,” says Costigan.
