Santa Claus will return to Woolwich this Christmas, with a festive grotto running from 28 November to 23 December.

Santa Claus is returning to Woolwich this Christmas, with a festive grotto at the riverside arts venue Woolwich Works running from 28 November to 23 December. Tickets go on sale from 1 October.

The grotto will be part of a wider programme of family-friendly events throughout the festive season. Nick Williams, director of Woolwich Works, said the venue wanted the grotto to 'feel like the heart of a really special festive day out', with families able to explore the venue before and after meeting Santa. The programme will include Protein's dance-theatre adaptation of Mozart's The Magic Flute on 5 December, a family silent disco, live gospel music, and performances by the National Children's Orchestras on 22 November featuring young musicians performing classical works.

Williams added: 'We hope families from Woolwich, across south east London and beyond will come and spend part of their Christmas with us.' The events offer what the venue describes as 'an eclectic alternative to panto' for children of different ages.
