Father Christmas has plenty of plans for the Steel City. Besides visiting every house to drop off presents, on the big day, he is dropping by in many places to set up his grotto and meet excited little ones.
Here are nine places you and your family can visit him in Sheffield for a magical festive experience ahead of Christmas Day.
It's a wonder how the man in red makes time for so many functions, with everything from helping out at the ‘Sheffield Elf Recovery Centre’ at Steel Cauldron, to managing his resident grotto at the Sheffield Christmas Market - but he always pulls out all the stops to give children an opportunity to tell him their Christmas wish list.
Check out our gallery below for places to see Santa this year. Each entry includes a link to where you can learn more and book a place where necessary.
