Santa Claus will make his arrival at Dobbies' Stirling store this November.

The free-to-attend event, scheduled for Sunday, November 24, marks the start of the festive season.

Children can watch as Santa makes his 'grand entrance', accompanied by performers from the Stirling Gang Show.

There will also be face painting available from Party Face Painting.

Families attending the event can also get a head start on their Christmas shopping with Dobbies' one-day-only discount voucher, available to collect at Santa's Arrival and redeemable that day.

Families are encouraged to dress in their favourite festive attire, with Christmas jumpers welcomed.

Dobbies' Kids Eat Free offer will run throughout the day, allowing children under 16 to enjoy their food for free with every traditional adult breakfast and main course meal at lunch.

Elaine Faulds, general manager at Dobbies' Stirling, said: "We’re so excited to welcome families to Santa’s Arrival this year.

"It’s such a special time, and we’ve worked hard to create an experience full of festive cheer to kick-start the celebrations.

"From Santa’s entrance to the live performances to entertain the crowd, there’s something for everyone in the community to enjoy at the Stirling store.

"We can’t wait to see the joy on the children’s faces as they see Santa arrive."
