During this December the special post office will be coming to Great Yarmouth to allow children of all ages to create and send their letter to Santa.

Located in a specially built wooden cabin in the Market Place, the elves will help you write your letter to Father Christmas using our festive headed paper.

Take some inspiration for your letter from the Magical Post Office itself or from our fabulously festive sample letters. The more imaginative your letter the better.

Then post it in Santa's Enchanted Post Box and watch its route to Lapland on the magic map.

Every letter sent will get a response from the Santa Claus himself.

A spokesman for the post office said: 'You can even ask our very own Sorting Hat to decide whether you have been naughty or nice this year, a letter with a 'good' stamp will surely get opened first.'

Post office opening times:

Saturdays 10am to 3pm

Sundays 11am to 3pm

Wednesdays 4pm to 7pm

Open 10am - 3pm daily from Monday, December 19 until Christmas Eve (Saturday, December 24)
