Children can meet and hear a story from Father Christmas for free at a Kent shopping centre.

Fremlin Walk in Maidstone is bringing back its popular Storytelling with Santa sessions.

The experience was first introduced in 2018 and become so popular with shoppers it's being re-introduced this year.

Sessions begin this Saturday, November 30 and will continue on select dates right up until Christmas Eve. They will run between 11am and 4pm.

Stories will take place in the centre's Christmas Cabin with Father Christmas and his elf Sparkle.

Whilst the experience is free, due to high demand, sessions must be booked in advance using a dedicated online booking form where families can reserve slots for themselves and their children.
