Father Christmas and his real reindeer are coming to Constantine for a Christmas event with a twist held by Miracle Theatre.

All children who attend the event will be given a gift by Father Christmas, and everyone is also invited to bring with them a new unwrapped gift to give back to Santa.

These gifts will then be donated to children who would otherwise be likely to receive little or even no presents this Christmas.

Gift donations are requested to be suitable for children from the age of a baby up to mid-teen.

The event organisers will also be collecting food for the food bank and the children's centre at the event, so any donations of gifts or food will be gratefully received.

Father Christmas and his real reindeer will be at Constantine church hall on Monday, December 5 from 6pm to 8pm.

Everyone is welcome and refreshments will be available.
