On Sunday 2nd December 2018 Newton Aycliffe Beat Team created a Santa’s grotto in the old Select store in Newton Aycliffe town centre. We were lucky enough that Santa was able to pay us a visit along with Mrs Claus and the naughty elves.

We had over 400 people come through the doors and the event was a huge success much bigger that we ever imagined.

On the day itself we also raised over £100 which will be given to local groups who feed the lonely this Christmas.

Santa will be back with us on Sunday 16th December 2018 between 11-4 and everyone is welcome.

Officers from your local Police team will be also present.

Please come along and support his fantastic event. All children will receive a small gift and there is plenty of time to have an “Elfie” with Santa.

We would also like to thank our sponsors Honest John, Livin and Tesco.

We look forward to seeing you there.
