Santa Post

Our Village Christmas tradition continues this year! You’ll find our red Santa’s postbox at various spots in December, ready for your little ones to post their letters to Santa.

Help them compose and address their letters, then visit the postbox and take a picture for posterity. If you’re happy for us to share it on our Instagram, tag us @v17walthamstow
