  • Come and Meet Santa at Burleigh

    Published 17/11/25

    We are looking forward to hosting Santa at our Burleigh School Elf Extravaganza on Friday November 28th from 3:30pm – 5:30pm.

    Santa has so many children to say hello to and we only have a limited amount of time for him to visit Burleigh School. Therefore, it’s very important that you book the time slot that you’d like to meet Santa. All children meeting Santa will be given a gift to open and will have the opportunity for parents to take photos of their families together.

    To enter the Elf Extravaganza you will need to have purchased a ticket online – it’s £1.00 per person (child or adult) to enter and £5.00 per child if you’d like to enter, meet Santa and get a gift from him.
