Santa’s grotto will be open on each of the Saturdays between 11am and 3pm and Keel Row Shopping Centre will have face painting, selfie booths, craft stalls, and more.

There will also be craft sessions and storytelling at Blyth Library.

Mayor of Blyth Town Council Warren Taylor said: “We may not have been able to provide our usual displays because of building work, but our team has been constructing a very special series of activities that will bring festive joy to everyone who attends.”
