Fenwick festive window will return along with socially-distanced Santa experience for Christmas

Many of the usual Christmas traditions, such as the pantomimes at Sunderland Empire and Customs House, have been cancelled this year. But seeing Santa at Fenwick is one of the region’s traditions which will go ahead.

Santa on the Roof returns in a Covid-19 secure fashion, as well as Santa’s Breakfast and Supper Club plus all-new Santa Sundays, with tickets going on sale from 10am on Thursday, October 8.

The man himself will return to the rooftop from Saturday, November 7 through to Christmas Eve with all other Christmas experiences running throughout the festive season.

Kieran McBride, Store Director at Fenwick Newcastle, said: “We are delighted to announce our extremely popular host of bespoke Christmas experiences will be returning to Newcastle this year.

"All experiences have been designed in accordance with current government guidelines which have been strictly implemented throughout.

"These experiences include the return of our immersive Santa on the Roof experience, Santa’s Breakfast and Supper Club’s as well as our brand-new experience this year - Santa Sundays. We’re doing everything we can to make this year’s Christmas as special as possible and ensure everyone can experience the festivities at Fenwick in a safe way.”
