About

Christmas is coming and this year children in Eastbourne can deliver their letters to Santa for free at the town’s Visitor Centre - and they will receive a personalised reply from him by Christmas Eve.

The special North Pole post box is located in the DQ Terrace Bar & Café in the Welcome Building, between the Congress Theatre and Winter Garden in the heart of the Devonshire Quarter.

The postal service is being co-ordinated by Visit Eastbourne and is completely free. Letters to Santa need to be posted by Thursday 15 December at the very latest, so they reach the North Pole in good time.

Parents should include their home address and personalised replies will be sent to the children to arrive by Christmas Eve.
