Children will now be able to contact Father Christmas directly thanks to a specially installed post box.
The post box, which will be installed in the DQ Terrace Bar and Cafe in Eastbourne, will separate letters to the North Pole from normal post to make sure the letters reach Santa in time for the big day.
Once children have sent their letters they can also expect a reply sent to their homes before Father Christmas sets off to deliver presents on Christmas Eve.
Margaret Bannister, lead member for tourism and culture at Eastbourne Borough Council, said: “We know how important it is that Santa receives letters to him with requests for gifts and wishes, and that is why we have installed a special North Pole letter box this year in the DQ Terrace Bar & Cafe inside the Welcome Building.”
“Children can post their letters to Santa in the post box and we will make sure they get to him in time so he can reply to each child personally by Christmas Eve.”
The post box will open on Monday, November 21, and letters should be sent with a name and home address by Saturday, December 17 to give Father Christmas enough time to reply.
