Event Description

A big festive hello from us here at Essex Libraries, as we welcome back the Santa Bus for 2023! The Santa Bus will be visiting 17 locations and bringing the magic of the festive season to everyone all over Essex. This completely free event is bringing crafts, refreshments, and Santa himself to libraries in Essex. Please book a slot to meet Santa on your chosen day.

Santa will be ready on our mobile library, ready to hear about what you want for Christmas this year, learn about the books you have been reading. After speaking to Santa, your little ones will also receive a gift!

A couple of things to be aware of when booking:
• Please only book for the number of children, adults can come along but do not need to book a space.
• If you only want to take part in the crafts and refreshments, you do not have to book.

There will be free crafts and refreshments for all taking place in the library to enjoy, no booking required You can design your own decoration, make a Christmas card, or create your own mini-Christmas tree. There are also some tasty refreshments to get everyone in the Christmas mood.
For any enquiries please contact us through Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
