Near Salisbury Christmas Market in Guildhall Square, Cross Keys Arcade is set to begin its festive celebrations with a spectacular line up of magical activities which run up to Christmas and throughout the school holidays.

Santa at Cross Keys

Santa will be at Cross Keys all day on Saturday, December 9 and 16. No family Christmas would be complete without seeing Santa, so pop along throughout the day to create a magical memory that will last forever. #SalisburySanta

Free festive face-painting

The Face-painting Fairie will be creating some memorable festive designs on Saturday, December 16 and 23, 10am-3pm. It’s all free, so why not go along with all the family and ask for an elf or snowman design?
