Letters to Santa
Newton Aycliffe
20th Nov 09:00
Every year, Santa’s hardworking elves place special post boxes around Newton Aycliffe so that local boys and girls can send their Christmas wishes directly to the North Pole.
Once the letters have been posted, Santa’s elves quietly collect them when nobody is looking and deliver them to Santa himself. Santa will then send a special reply to every child who writes to him. Inside the envelope will be:
🎅 A personal reply from Santa
📜 A Christmas certificate
🎁 A small gift
Important
Please make sure you include your:
- Full name
- Full postal address
Without these details, Santa may not be able to send his reply.
When Will the Post Boxes Appear?
Santa’s elves have told us that the post boxes will appear on:
Friday 20th November 2026
