A HEALTH and sports complex is set to host a special festive event next weekend as residents begin to get into the infectious seasonal spirit.

Brantham Leisure Centre, located in New Village, Manningtree, has organised two Breakfast With Santa meet-ups for next Saturday and Sunday morning.

The pair of events will see excitable children enjoy some tasty morning food and a delicious drink with Father Christmas himself after he lands his leigh in the area.

Those who have been on their best behaviour over the past year might also be able to ask him for the presents they would like to see under their trees on the big day.

A spokesman for Brantham Leisure Centre advised those looking to attend the breakfast to book their tickets as soon as possible.

He said: “Our next event is our special Christmassy breakfast with the big man himself. There are limited spaces so be sure to book early. Ho-Ho-Ho.”

Brantham Leisure Centre’s Breakfast with Santa events will run from 9.30am and tickets for £6 per child, which includes food and drink.
