A singing Santa has been inviting children to sing carols with him as well as tell him what they want for Christmas.

Bradford’s singalong Santa’s grotto in the Oastler Shopping Centre in Bradford has already attracted lots of attention.

Like all traditional Santas he asks children if they have been good and what they would like from him for Christmas but they can also sing carols together.

Councillor David Green, Bradford Council’s executive member for regeneration and the economy, said: “As far as we know this is the only sing-a-long Santa in Bradford which makes him different from all the other Santas.

“I hope people will come along and join in the fun.”

The singing Santa can be seen today between 11am and 3pm.

Visitors can also enjoy looking for last-minute presents from the market which has a wide variety of gifts and goods on offer.
