Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at one of the most family-filled events? The place where millions of children eagerly await to visit, well the Mirrors, Nia Dalton has shared what it’s like at one of Bristol’s tinsel temples in Cribbs Causeway.
Wearing a tartan coat decorated with a holly brooch and bright orange tights, Nia stepped out on stage as Satsuma the elf at Santa's Grotto in Cribbs Causeway shopping centre. Although she was not your typical red and pointy-eared elf, she felt quite stylish for a North Pole worker.
She said: “Creative director Hannah McGavin gave me the name and outfit when I arrived, and it's very fitting for the Paddington Bear theme at Bristol's Winter Wonderland. As I'm greeted by a fellow employee, Clementine the elf, Hannah tells me to wave and smile at every child and wish them a Merry Christmas.”
