The Original Shrewsbury Christmas
This year you can celebrate Christmas beneath Shrewsbury's Old Market Hall. Bask in the light of Shrewsbury's sparkling Christmas tree whilst children post their letters to Father Christmas in our Christmas post box, which has a direct line to the North Pole.
Write your very own letter to the big man in red, or download a template letter here.
The Shrewsbury post box will be in place from the Christmas Lights Switch On on 24th November.
Father Christmas is very busy getting ready for Christmas Eve, if you would like a response to your letters please make sure to post them before Thursday 16th December. Please make sure to include your email address if you'd like a response.
