Adults and kids are invited to meet Santa and the Butterbear at an Ipswich shopping centre this weekend.
The Buttermarket Shopping Centre will host a series of community Christmas events this Saturday, December 16.
Embracing the festive spirit, the event promises a day filled with joy, laughter, and heart-warming activities for the whole family.
The highlight of the day will be a special meet-and-greet with the lovable mascot, Butterbear, known for bringing smiles to faces of all ages.
Adding to the festive magic, Father Christmas himself will be in attendance from 3pm .
Hailing from Ipswich, Santa is not only spreading holiday cheer but also working towards a noble cause.
All funds raised during Santa's appearance will go towards supporting the East Anglian Children's Hospice, a cause close to both Santa's heart and the Buttermarket's commitment to community welfare.
For those in need of assistance with the holiday hustle and bustle, the event will also feature a free Christmas present wrapping service.
The UCCK Help Centre in Ipswich will be on-site, ready to lend a helping hand. Visitors are encouraged to drop off their presents and let the experts take care of the wrapping.
